The Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) is changing its name and will become the Constructor Group at the end of November 2022. The new name reflects SIT's evolution into a global ecosystem with partnerships in industry as well as universities and students in over 100 countries.

Since its founding (2019) in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, Schaffhausen Institute of Technology SIT has grown rapidly to become a global organization with over 700 employees from more than 17 countries, operations in nine countries, over 1800 students and over 6000 alumni from more than 110 countries. In the form of a change of name, the Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT), as well as Jacobs University (JUB), will be merged into the new "Constructor Group". As a global institution dedicated to the creation of knowledge through research, science, education and technology.

The Constructor ecosystem includes Constructor University, a research-focused higher education organization that offers more than 25 accredited degree programs ranging from bachelor's to master's to Ph.D. degrees. The private, English-language university has an institute in Schaffhausen as well as the former Jacobs University in Bremen. Thanks to digital and hybrid study formats and partnerships with top-tier universities around the world, such as Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Geneva, Constructor University is expanding into a global campus - with roots in Schaffhausen.
