Bosch has established an endowed chair at Stanford University (California, USA). The “Robert Bosch Chair” we created in the Department of Mechanical Engineering fosters research programs and innovative teaching methods. The chair also encourages young people to use the research results to found company startups. Since 1999, we have also provided financial support for an endowed professorship for automotive systems at Tongji University in Shanghai, China.In Germany, we currently sponsor six professorships. We are one of the co-founders of the Interdisciplinary Center of Advanced Materials Simulation at the University of Bochum, and have financed the Chair for Vehicle Mechatronics at the University of Stuttgart since 2001.
Carnegie Bosch Institute
Carnegie Bosch Institute for Applied Studies in International Management represents a unique alliance between Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business and the Bosch Group. The Institute was established in 1990 through a major endowment gift by Robert Bosch Corporation. The Institute’s mission is to support, educate, and develop globally minded managers through research, fora and executive education programs.
The Carnegie Bosch Chairs
In 2006, Carnegie Bosch Institute sharply increases its stimulation of academic research on global business issues: the Institute sponsors five Carnegie Bosch Chairs, the spearhead of which is the Bosch Chair. Together, these faculty form the Carnegie Bosch Institute Research Committee. They work in the field of Organizational Behavior and Theory, Manufacturing and Operations Management, Operations Research and Computer Science, and Marketing. Above all, they are looking at issues across boundaries and disciplines. Carnegie Bosch Institute is continuously working to find new ways of facilitating the exchange between experienced business managers and these open-minded academic experts by developing fora that share the newly created knowledge.
A Vision Turned Reality: Global Leadership
In its endeavour to bring business and academia together in a unique and new learning environment, Carnegie Bosch Institute has taken a leap into innovation. Its annual Executive Summer Forum Global Leadership has become an epitome of a courageous, stimulating, and invigorating development experience of senior executives and academic presenters from around the world. Its unconventional process design and its hand-selected faculty, its meticulous attention to detail and its tie-back into the real life of international businesses make it a stand-alone product in the world of executive learning, development, and cross-community networking.
