Research & Development

As a University of Applied Sciences, EHL seeks to promote and diffuse research that is applicable for the industry and/or academics.

We integrate this objective into every area of our activities by teaching students how to conduct applied research, supporting faculty members' research activities, and offering research and development services and resources to industry partners.

Sponsored Research

Opportunities for sponsored research at EHL range from dedicated applied research projects by select faculty members, to sponsorship of a long-term research institute. For applied research projects, our faculty members conduct hospitality research in managerial disciplines, alone or in teams, to tackle issues that benefit the industry and contribute to education.  

Our sponsored research institutes assemble multi-disciplinary teams from the academic and industry sectors to deliver in-depth studies that provide valuable knowledge and recommendations for the development of your business.
