WTT projects selected for internal university funding 2020

Almost 300,000 euros for six promising projects: the rectorate is funding prototypes and demonstrative projects, as well as interdisciplinary knowledge transfer projects. In 2013, the rectorate established an internal university fund to support knowledge and technology transfer. Since then, 200,000 euros have been awarded annually to fund prototypes, demonstrative projects, and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer projects. This year, 18 projects were submitted and six promising projects have been chosen to receive a total of just under 300,000 euros. It can be hard to finance projects, despite the fact that they are of great relevance to society. The fund is intended to increase the visibility and acceptance of the university in the wider society. The university's humanities departments in particular have a wealth of ideas pertaining to knowledge transfer, and these have proved difficult to finance with external finding, despite their relevance to society.
