Strategic global brand Wolf’s collaboration with Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) will culminate in the construction of a Technology Campus in Mainburg. The facility, managed by DIT, will be part of the new Wolf Visitor Center, expected to open its doors in Mainburg in 2025. It will focus on four areas of research: sustainable construction and operation of buildings including heating, ventilation and air handling technology, digitalization in building technology, big data and artificial intelligence. The Wolf visitor center is closing the gap between university and the world of work and will contribute to train the next generation of professionals, developing the necessary skills to make the energy transition happen.

In 2020, Ariston Group signed a strategic five-years partnership with Italian university Politecnico di Milano and Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. Focused on renewable technologies, research activities span the improvement of compression thermodynamic cycles, the study of absorption thermodynamic cycles, solution tests, hydrogen combustion technologies, as well as the development of algorithms for the control and regulation of air conditioning systems. The partnership also includes training activities aimed at students and graduates, while allowing Ariston Group to become known as an employer through PhDs and other initiatives.

In 2023, Ariston Group signed a framework agreement with Università Politecnica delle Marche, to facilitate research activities. In particular as a starting point, through dedicated thesis, PhDs and research activities, we have had the opportunity to further deepen our knowledge on renewable technologies, focusing on systems optimization, studying the mechanical characterization of expanded materials for heat pumps, developing advanced algorithms for heating systems and reducing noise emission of our products.
