Research institutions
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf cooperates with a number of research institutions beyond the faculties' borders.
As the main scientific HHU institution, the Biological-Medical Research Centre (BMFZ) aims to further link medical research with basic scientific disciplines.
In particular, the affiliated institutes of the HHU function as the connecting link to the economy. As independent institutions, they maintain close contacts with researchers in the faculties and are involved in the training of new scientists.
