Deutsche Telekom Institute for Connected Cities
The Deutsche Telekom Institute for Connected Cities ( TICC ) in Friedrichshafen examined the interaction of modern information and communication technology and urban development with regard to stronger social and technological integration and networking potential. The institute was located in the department of management- oriented administrative and political sciences at Zeppelin University .
assignment
The aim of the TICC was to strengthen the research and teaching area of applied informatics and administrative modernization. As a pioneer, the Deutsche Telekom Institute for Connected Cities (TICC) developed groundbreaking ideas, strategies, concepts and models in order to implement them with partners. For an interdisciplinary, design-oriented institute, the close interlinking of teaching and research with practice is a key success factor in generating sustainable solutions. In the context of the T-City , the TICC accompanies the research of the Geographical Institute of the University of Bonn. With the TICC, a creative space was created to deal intensively with the outlined research fields in an interdisciplinary manner. A transfer of convincing results into practice should be sought with suitable partners in order to ensure the sustainability of the considerations. Spin-offs from employees and students are sought and promoted.
history
In 2008, Deutsche Telekom AG enabled Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen to establish the Deutsche Telekom Institute for Connected Cities (TICC). The inaugural lecture by the institute director Jörn von Lucke took place on April 28, 2009 at the Zeppelin University. At the beginning of 2014 it was transferred to The Open Government Institute .
structure
Jörn von Lucke was the head of the TICC. At the same time he held the chair for administrative and business informatics at the Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen. Dirk Heckmann , full professor of public law at the University of Passau , headed the Center for IT Compliance and Trust.
Scientific standard
The institute is supported by the professors, the corresponding members, the visiting researchers and the scientific staff. Student employees and students benefit from this environment in which they can familiarize themselves with supervision, contribute their own ideas and implement projects. Scholarships and the Research School should provide the opportunity for independent research at an early stage. An anchoring of the TICC in the scientific community is ensured by the intensive cooperation with the Society for Computer Science , the Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS) and the National IT Summit of the Federal Government .
