Unser research understanding

Academic Cooperation
  • We are convinced that national and international knowledge exchange enables fruitful discussions and can bring research to the next level.
  • Thus, we embrace (research-related) cooperation and knowledge exchange within our university, Germany, Europe and beyond.
Industry Cooperation
  • We put a strong emphasis on gathering data together with the industry and transferring our academic research in order to solve real-world challenges.
  • Thus, we have built a strong network and close collaborations with corporates, startups, and other stakeholders, particularly in the healthcare sector. We understands the language of patients, healthcare professionals and innovators and act as translators between the three parties. We regularly conduct research in hospitals and outpatient settings.
  • Collaborations can include: theses, applied research and data science projects, consulting, talks, workshops or trainings.
