Transfer fields

University of Hohenheim – a strong partner for transfer

In order to effectively enable and support successful transfer, we have bundled our activities in the following transfer fields:

  • We support scientists in disseminating their findings and putting them into practice.
  • External partners and interested parties are given the opportunity to make specific requests to Hohenheim scientists and to access their scientific services.

In addition, longer-term cooperation and stable networks among social, economic, and scientific institutions and actors are supported.
