Where we make a difference.

In many disciplines across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, demand for university places continues to significantly exceed existing capacity.

Whether establishing or transforming a university, complex requirements in teaching, administration and, in some cases, patient care usually have to be met within tight budgets.

Navigating the varied requirements of teaching staff, students, administrators and public authorities calls for reliable partners who keep everyone moving in the same direction.

Rising demands, financial pressure and new legal requirements call for a comprehensive realignment of the hospital sector. Efficient, quality-assured and sustainable operations require a clear transformation strategy.

Germany’s Hospital Transformation Fund (Krankenhaustransformationsfonds, KHTF) provides a central instrument for actively shaping this change.

Joint projects enable universities and medical institutions to develop innovative solutions and advance their research initiatives through targeted partnerships and interdisciplinary collaboration.

These projects often face unclear responsibilities and a lack of clarity around coordination, project management and funding.

Health literacy has proven crucial to preventing health problems. Yet people in most countries have gaps in their health literacy.

Improving health literacy requires approaches that go beyond simply providing health information.

Scientific insights provide a foundation for sound decisions. We support research projects in education and healthcare, connecting scientific perspectives with practical implementation.

Scientific support and evaluation help establish the effectiveness and efficiency of measures. Research quality and robust findings are central to our work.
