Interface between research, business and society
With our transformation projects, we're showing by way of example which solutions exist for pressing social issues and which steps are necessary to implement and establish those solutions. Put simply, it is about the stage of the project in which the research and then the transfer between research, business and society takes place. We'd like to address all the different stakeholders in the region. We invite you to work with us on solutions for the future of the Lower Rhine.
