The Innovative University initiative

The Innovative University promotes the transfer of ideas, knowledge and technology from universities to benefit business and society and produce innovations. As part of this initiative, the Campus to World project at H-BRS was selected as one of 29 transfer projects in Germany.

The Campus to World project

Campus to World ramps up our transfer activities to share our expertise with interested businesses and society and to discuss cooperation options. We rely on stable partnerships with actors in our region.

The core elements of Campus to World are the network and innovation managers of the Transfer Network (Transfernetzwerk) and our Innovation Mall. Innovation Mall is a website for networking and exchange to facilitate the transfer of ideas into and out of the university as well as cooperations.

Urbanization causes rural regions to become less attractive. Studies show, however, that municipalities cooperating with regional universities prosper in the long term. Working with our pilot municipality Neunkirchen-Seelscheid, we have been developing transferable strategies and tools for the sustainable development of rural areas.
