Knowledge Transfer

The University of Marburg has an impact on society with many offers beyond the university boundaries. Knowledge is not only acquired here through research and teaching, but also passed on in many forms, for example in the Studium Generale or senior auditing. The university is well connected with the regional economy in Central Hesse and maintains cooperations throughout Germany and worldwide. Start-ups, patents, and implementations bring knowledge from research into practical application.
