Collaborative projects
Large collaborative projects are a hallmark of each faculty's profile and research strength. Within the framework of various associations and networks, the Faculty of Medicine cooperates with scientists from different departments of the Heinrich Heine University, especially with the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, with research institutions outside the HHU and with other universities.
This shows that traditional subject and discipline boundaries are increasingly permeable and create considerable potential for innovation at the subject boundaries.
All currently funded projects with a total volume of 1.5 million euros or more with a spokesperson or coordination or representation of these functions at HHU are listed here.
