Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT / THD), is a university of applied sciences in Lower Bavaria. It has rapidly developed into one of the strongest research universities of applied sciences. Our research has been boosted by the establishment of technology campuses - 17 are currently in operation in Bavaria - which have led to a wide variety of institutes and research groups with strong third-party funding on a wide range of topics. The research strength is also reflected in our newly established doctoral centres with the right to grant doctoral degrees, the establishment of a multitude of transfer events and a supportive ecosystem for start-ups and innovation.
AI Meets Industry: A New Era of Intrusion Detection with CAIDAN
Rethink everything you know about cybersecurity: the Deggendorf Institute of Technology introduces CAIDAN—an AI-driven intrusion detection and attribution network built for industrial environments. By combining network flow and material flow data, CAIDAN delivers context-aware anomaly detection and transforms scattered alerts into clear, actionable insights.
With a powerful correlation engine, standardized forensic framework, and scalable streaming architecture, the system enables efficient deployment tailored במיוחד for SMEs. CAIDAN not only improves detection accuracy but also enhances situational awareness with interpretable alerts and structured evidence.
The future? Explainable AI, intuitive dashboards, and broader industrial adoption. Discover how CAIDAN can strengthen your cybersecurity strategy today.

Overcoming the Energy and Water Crisis Together
Water, energy and food shortages and interdependences, also known as WEF-Nexus Challenges, are some of the most pressing issues that have been affecting countries globally. Take a moment and find out how Professor Tobias Bader and his team at Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) and Stellenbosch University (SU) in South Africa work together to overcome these challenges.
Professor Bader and his team started the coop-project “HyREC²A” short for “Hybrid Renewable Energy Collaborative Climate Action“ with a clear vision in mind. It is set to establish mutual transfer of knowledge with SU in renewable energy systems to overcome the energy and water crisis. For this purpose, the intercontinental research and education alliance have defined three main objectives:
- Establishing sustainable cooperation networks across the map
- Systematic identification and initiation of joint research projects in the Western Cape
- Development, testing and establishment of joint lecture modules
Students from Bavaria and South Africa are going to work in mixed teams towards achieving their objectives and solving the WEF-Nexus-Challenges. The project is already bearing fruit, as one realistic approach to solving these problems could be the combination of hybrid energy systems from agrivoltaics and the energetic utilization of invasive biomass.
You can find out what that entails and how it’s implemented here.
Master of Digital Health
The Master of Digital Health (DH-M) at the European Campus Rottal-Inn (ECRI), part of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT), offers international researchers a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge digital health studies. This interdisciplinary program bridges medicine, data science, and technology, preparing graduates to tackle global healthcare challenges.
With a curriculum covering telemedicine, AI, robotics, and data analytics, DH-M emphasizes hands-on research, industry collaboration, and innovation-driven learning. The program fosters a strong international network, enabling researchers to contribute to the global digital health landscape.
A key platform for knowledge exchange is DigiHealthDay, an annual event bringing together global experts to discuss the future of digital health. Researchers benefit from high-level discussions, networking, and insights into the latest trends shaping the field.
