Cooperation Projects

University development is urban development and urban development is university development. Complex society-related and future-related problems can only be solved together.

 

Common Goals

This knowledge leads to a continuously growing number of direct partnerships between the city and the scientific institutions: from work experience and dissertations by students, via joint projects and events, through to regular institution-based cooperation in various committees.

Highlights in Kiel's event calendar, such as the Museum Night, the Festival of Science and the Digital Week are also lighthouse projects for successful partnerships. There is intensive exchange between institutions and cooperation in joint establishments such as the Wissenschaftszentrum (Science Centre).

The City of Kiel’s Science Unit arranges and supports these various partnerships between the city and scientific institutions.
