The Göttingen Campus
The Göttingen Campus is an alliance between the University of Göttingen including the University Medical Centre Göttingen and eight non-university, local research institutions, five of which are Max Planck Institutes. The Göttingen Campus partners foster research, teaching, and the training of early career researchers. History The Göttingen Campus partnership has been developed by its members over many years. Because of the high density or research and education institutions in Göttingen, academic collaborations across institutional boundaries are very common. The formalization of this collaborative work all began with joint International Max Planck Research Schools, followed by joint institutions such as the European Neuroscience Institute. The Göttingen Campus Council (formerly Göttingen research Council) was established in 2006 as the main governing body for the Campus. It identifies Campus-wide research priorities and facilitates cooperation between Campus members. O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
