Heinrich Heine University cooperates with numerous research institutions and networks beyond the boundaries of the faculties. The HHU's affiliated institutes in particular act as a link to industry. As independent institutions, they maintain close contact with research in the faculties and participate in the training of young academics.
One of our foci today, linking all faculties, are the Life Sciences. Cross-departmental, joint study programmes (such as Business Chemistry) are one of our major strengths.
The ZIM is a central operating unit of the Heinrich Heine University. It is a service and competence center for all aspects of digital information supply and processing, digital communication and the use of digital media.
