Science and society

We network partners in the region

The University of Hohenheim wants to strengthen and actively support the multidirectional exchange with and between all partners of society (science, businesses, communities, associations, citizens,...). To this end, we are constantly expanding our network of partners in the region, creating knowledge maps for better orientation and the search for partners, and designing meeting formats for all participants.

Our primary objectives and measures are:

  • Triggering innovation and transfer processes
  • Networking institutions and minds in our transfer region
  • Improving the conditions for science, education, and training in our transfer region
