Research in and with companies – managing collaborations’ offers practical insights into the dos and don'ts of collaborating with companies 🤝📊💡🏢

With its new series of events, ‘TransferTalks’, the Transfer Office offers a format in which scientists can exchange ideas on transfer topics, network and learn from best practices.

The event will take place on 22 April 2026 from 12:00 to 13:00 📅⏰

Research collaborations often start out vague, and participants may have different expectations about issues like workload, authorship, publication form, and open science. We are developing a toolkit where project initiators can state how they foresee the collaboration, and potential collaborators can evaluate if the project is right for them.

Please try it out and give feedback!

Treasure trove of data: #EuroWorm project!

Species are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide. Many creatures are threatened with extinction before they have even been identified. To advance the discovery of new species and understanding of global #BioDiversity, researchers are building a comprehensive dataset on European marine worms, accessible for international research: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8086

Congratulations to researchers led by #LeibnizInstitute #BiodiversityChangeAnalysis - with our Uni & #Senckenberg on #LeibnizAssociation funding.

New commentary published in #Scientometrics: “Scientific collaboration without flights: Ukraine’s wartime adaptation.”

Since 2022, #Ukraine has had no civilian air travel, severely limiting academic mobility. Yet, international co-authorship involving Ukrainian institutions has not declined — it has increased. A small piece on resilience, digital collaboration, and global academic solidarity.

Hybrid excitons: combining the best of both worlds

Researchers discover unique quantum state at the interface of organic and 2D semiconductors: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8054. This breakthrough is a step towards the development of more efficient solar cells, ultrafast optoelectronic components, and new applications in #QuantumTechnology.

How fast can a forest recover from wildfire?

Fires may disappear within weeks but their effects can persist in the soil for decades. Researchers were curious about how the recovery of the soil was affected by different ecosystems. It turns out that different systems recover differently – this will be important as forest fires become more frequent: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8043
