Through the ‘Business Meets Academia’ series of events, we are working with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce to create a platform where experts from the worlds of business and academia can engage with one another on an equal footing. The series focuses on current topics that are of equal relevance to both worlds – ranging from technological developments and social trends to specific challenges faced by businesses and research institutions.

The focus is on the transfer of knowledge, ideas and experience. Our events provide a space to examine issues from different perspectives, learn from one another and gain fresh insights. This is not just about exchange between business and academia at a strategic level: collaborations between staff members, project teams and specialist departments are also specifically encouraged, so that joint projects can emerge which have an immediate impact.
