Scientific tests at Audi

Academic Cooperation

Cooperation with scientific institutions contributes in important ways to achieving the strategic goals of AUDI AG. It is particularly important in this context to understand our partnerships with scientific institutions as exceptional relationships that secure the future of AUDI AG and that require special rules and standards for transparent, fair and honest cooperation.

Forms of Cooperation

The forms of cooperation are diverse. Examples of this include joint research projects in which scientists research future topics relevant to Audi. Audi also supports employees who are involved in teaching and who consequently give students an insight into industrial practices.


Furthermore, Audi promotes research and teaching at colleges and universities by endowing professorships. Examples of other forms of cooperation include student projects, public funding projects, theses, the Audi doctorate program, sponsorships, entrepreneurship, etc.
