»Uni in Leibniz«

Already in the summer of 2006, LIKAT signed a far-reaching cooperation agreement with the University of Rostock (Uni in Leibniz), which has been continuously expanded in the past years and from which LIKAT and the university benefit equally. The contract enables LIKAT to integrate research groups of the University of Rostock
to a large extent in the research work of the institute: from the natural science institutes, the Interdisciplinary Faculty, the engineering sciences or the medical field.

The cooperation within the framework of Uni in Leibniz was realigned as an ideas competition at the beginning of 2020. Researchers from the universities can formulate proposals on predefined questions and submit them to LIKAT. The prerequisite is their cooperation with LIKAT staff, e.g. through the joint supervision of PhD students, for which LIKAT provides resources. Such a competition of ideas promotes the exchange between university and LIKAT and enables the internal start-up financing of high-risk research, which can and should lead to future joint research projects. The pre-definition of the research question by LIKAT ensures the research orientation of these collaborations according to the research strategy of the institute.
