Academic Collaborations

Beyond IntCDC – Collaborations with national and international academic partners

We provide funding and scholarships to invite incoming researchers from the cooperating institutions for research stays, and to invite outgoing researchers from the Cluster of Excellence IntCDC to work with our international partners. In addition, we offer Visiting Professorships to attract renowned international figures in the field of IntCDC.

Academic Partners

Cooperation between the institutes contributes to cultural enrichment, scientific progress and the consolidation of friendship.

We are proud of our excellent colleagues from the following partner universities and research institutions. We build on a successful cooperation and exchange.
