Working in close cooperation with Executive Department Appointments and Strategic Cooperations, Strategic Research Planning analyzes and evaluates collaborative projects with the non-university research institutions of the four major German research organizations (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association, Max Planck Society) as well as with Federal Departmental Research Institutions. This covers all networking instruments of the non-university research institutions such as joint professorships, research campuses and other forms of cooperation. Strategic Research Planning also supports affiliated institutes of TU Berlin.
