„LEIBNIZ ALLIANCE HANNOVER“

Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) and Hannover Medical School (MHH) sign cooperation agreement

Interdisciplinary research is a key factor when it comes to meeting major social challenges in health and society.
In this context, LUH and MHH have signed a cooperation agreement as part of their joint proposal in the funding line "Universities of Excellence of the Federal and State Governments". The alliance focuses on the sustainable advancement of both universities, as well as on the long-term development of Hannover as a science location.
For many years, LUH and MHH have been working together successfully in teaching, research, and academic support. The agreement will provide a structure for the science-driven partnership that evolved over the years and will allow for an even closer collaboration.

The consortium will enter the second funding line of the Excellence Strategy as "LEIBNIZ ALLIANCE HANNOVER" and submit their joint proposal to the German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat) on 10 December. The inspection by an international group of experts will take place between 26 and 28 March 2019.
