Institute for Computer Aided Architectural Design
The Institute for Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) deals with the design, planning, simulation, and visualisation of architecture with the support of software. The institute is also responsible for the network infrastructure of the Faculty of Architecture. One research topic is the “netzentwurf” a web-based platform where architecture faculties and institutes can cooperate.

Media Computing Group
The Media Computing Group conducts research in Media Computing and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) beyond today's graphical user interface and desktop metaphor. Grounded in Computer Science, we develop and study new interaction theories, techniques, and systems in several areas of interaction. Our goal is to make the Brave New World of interactive technologies useful by making it usable.

Forschungszentrum Jülich
Forschungszentrum Jülich is concerned with key technologies, whose benefits are not restricted to the specific needs of isolated disciplines, but instead open new doors for research as a whole. Jülich, one of Europe's largest interdisciplinary research centres works with the best partners in science and industry to develop and build these key technologies, to use them for their own research, and make them available to science.
