Successful project with HTWK
HHL’s Center for Healthcare Management
(CHM) is part of an interdisciplinary team
which seeks to transfer research approaches
within a ForMaT (Forschung für den Markt
im Team) project funded by the BMBF (German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research).
The project with the title “Innovatives
Labor life science engineering” is one of
only 11 initiatives chosen for the second
round funding (out of 35 applications). The
team will receive research funds of up to
EUR 2 million in the next two years. The
project is run by the Leipzig University of
Applied Sciences (HTWK), the Innovation
Center Computer Assisted Surgery (ICCAS)
at the medical faculty of University Leipzig
and HHL together with regional companies.
In the first phase of the project – which was
3 rd international conference on “Regulatory Risks”
HHL and the Halle Institute for Economic
Research (IWH) will hold their third joint
conference on “Regulatory Risks” in HHL’s new
City Campus October 1-2, 2009. The event is
generously supported by VNG – Verbundnetz Gas
Aktiengesellschaft and envia Mitteldeutsche
Energie AG.
The conference, organized by Professor Dr. Ulrich
Blum, President of IWH, and Professor Dr. Hans
Wiesmeth, Dean of HHL, brings together scholars
funded with almost EUR 100,000 – research
ideas in the fields of life sciences and mechatronics
were screened and conceptualized
for an Innovationslabor. The concept
team around HHL focused on the formation
of a test and training center for medical devices
under real conditions to bring together
the expertise of the ICCAS and the HTWK.
The goal of ForMaT projects is to identify
and develop the innovative potential of universities
and scientific institutions at an early
stage in the Neue Länder. Researchers
should be motivated to think about the
marketability of their scientific results and
engage in an interdisciplinary cooperation
with business faculties to conceptualize
and realize their projects.
and industry experts from Germany and Russia
to discuss the economic effects of regulatory
heterogeneity and inconsistency in energy
markets of the Russian Federation and the
Federal Republic of Germany. The program
features a keynote speech by Professor Dr.
Andrey V. Zverev, Minister-Counsellor of the
Embassy of the Russian Federation in the
Federal Republic of Germany in Berlin.
