University of Tübingen steps up research cooperation with Danish universities
Tübingen delegation in Copenhagen, first stop on the Research World Tour of six locations in Europe, Asia, the US and Brazil
A delegation of Tübingen University researchers headed by President Bernd Engler is in the Danish capital Copenhagen, aiming to intensify the research ties between Tübingen and the southernmost Scandinavian country. The delegation will hold talks with top representatives of the University of Copenhagen and take part in research-related workshops with scientists and academics. Junior researchers in Denmark will be able to find out more about research funding available in Germany. Later in the week, the delegation will be talking to leading academics at the Technical University of Denmark as part of the Research World Tour, which aims to raise Tübingen’s excellent profile as a place to conduct research.
The Research World Tour will strengthen existing ties, open up new opportunities for projects and partnerships and attract outstanding researchers to come to Tübingen.
Scientists and academics from the University of Tübingen and the non-university research institutions are visiting six locations in Europe, the US, Brazil, China, and Japan. As part of the fledgling Tübingen Research Campus, the aim is for the University and the Max Planck Institutes, Helmholtz and Leibniz Centers to expand their collaboration. Internationally, the partners are seeking to make the most of the unique opportunities Tübingen offers for world-class national and international research cooperation.
The plan was selected for funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and receives €75,000 in support from the DFG this year. You can access an interactive map of the Research World Tour detailing the locations visited and planned joint projects here:
