The name speaks for itself: what the experts at the planned "Body & Brain Institute Münster" (BBIM) want to do is to investigate diseases and their origins from the point of view of the interaction between the brain and the body. It is, therefore, only logical that representatives from a range of disciplines should work closely together here. This large-scale project, involving cooperation between the University of Münster and the University Hospital Münster (UKM), is scheduled to receive funding of around 70 million euros, having now overcome a major hurdle. The German Council of Science and Humanities has declared itself in favour of the construction of the BBIM, and this clears the way for joint funding on the part of the national and the regional state governments. The final decision on the funding will be made - on the basis of the recommendation given by the Council - at the Joint Science and Humanities Conference, at which representatives of both national and regional state governments will be attending, and which is expected to be held in July. "We are delighted at the positive assessment of the concept for the BBIM," says Prof. Johannes Wessels, the Rector of Münster University.
