Research, development, testing and presentation for BOS projects

TCRH Training Center Saving and Helping: interdisciplinary platform for universities, companies and users

When developing products and services for authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS), the availability of operational scenarios plays a major role. They are an essential prerequisite for, among other things, being able to create feasibility studies, system concepts and carry out tests and simulations.

Realistic scenarios enable real-world testing

The research, development and testing of equipment for professional use in the areas of disaster prevention, civil protection, internal and external security is carried out in a practical manner in collaboration with emergency services.

Ideally, testing in the different project phases is carried out in the field under conditions that are as realistic as possible. This requires, for example, open spaces, training objects, scenarios, mimes, simulation options, etc.

The presentation of the finished results also plays a major role - you want to convince producers, marketers and, above all, the users of the practical applicability of your solution. The existing ones are available for this purpose Practice objects and scenarios ready – special requests will be gladly realized.

Administrative and technical support

The TCRH connects users, research institutions, companies, organizations and authorities through a permanent staff position. The aim of this is to promote interdisciplinary exchange across specialist services and organisations. Universities, companies, users and funding providers are brought together here.

For product development and support of, for example, tests, exercises and presentations, TCRH users are supported by the in-house technical team in building or adapting training objects/scenarios.

If requested, the TCRH will provide or arrange mimes, observers or assessors for tests and exercises.

Working group offices, workshops, specialist conferences and congresses

The TCRH offers an interesting but also highly functional platform for events where all target groups can exchange information about a product or service.

To carry out projects, offices of different sizes are furnished and provided with means of communication. These can be rented flexibly for the short, medium and long term.

Seminar and event rooms are available in different sizes with flexible furnishings for short, medium and long-term use.

Video conference systems, a broadband Internet connection, individual VPN functions as well as multimedia and presentation technology support different needs.

Accommodation and gastronomy

The one available on site Accommodation and gastronomy offers all possibilities to handle small and large events.

Barbecue areas, terraces, a fitness studio and a bowling alley are available for free use.
