research transfer

The MESHS is recognized as an interface between HSS research units and public/private partners. With its 37 member laboratories (about 1300 researchers and lecturers), the MESHS truly is a “talent pool” of every HSS discipline. Consequently, it permits the setting of collaborations between researchers from diverse disciplines. It also raises the visibility of HSS researchers at the national and international scope.
