. 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.
Objectives
The Göttingen Campus works to further improve the quality of research and teaching and to use synergies in the areas of management, administration and infrastructures. Equality, diversity and family-friendliness are promoted in order to create ideal working conditions for scientific and science-support staff.
Academic cooperations and joint research networks are being supported and expanded, and there is an increasing number of shared infrastructure across the Campus.
