Umberto Competence Center
We have concluded cooperation agreements with selected universities and colleges that have proven Umberto know-how. These Umberto Competence Centers (UCCs) are institutions that use Umberto in research and teaching, but are also active in practical projects with industrial partners.
The Umberto Competence Centers are contacts for other universities and companies dealing with material flow management. They place interns and diploma students with Umberto knowledge and participate in research and development projects that involve specific adaptation or expansion of Umberto.

The Umberto Competence Center of the Trier University of Applied Sciences is located at the Institut für angewandtes Stoffstrommanagement (IfaS). Umberto has been successfully used there as a software solution for several years.
Research projects include the analysis of operational material flows and the implementation of life cycle assessments. As an interface between academic training and practical application, the Environmental Campus assigns interns, Bachelor's and Master's theses and is available as a contact for methodological and conceptual questions.
