The Hannover Transfer Campus (HTC) includes four top-performing universities in the Region Hannover. Together they create sustainable structures for supporting transfer \u00adactivities. The result is a regional innovation eco-system with fruitful soil for know-how of all kinds. It just needs constant irrigation, to perpetuate the gardening image. Hannover Transfer Campus pools expertise from different disciplines and from pure and applied research. That is the advantage. <\/p>\n

The Campus includes Leibniz University Hannover, \u00adHannover Medical School (MHH), Hannover University of Applied Sciences the University of Music, Drama and Media Hannover (HMTMH).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is the view from the outside that helps. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s free of charge. \u201cuni transfer\u201d is the research and technology contact point of Leibniz University Hannover. On behalf of small and medium-sized companies, the experts sound out the core skills, assess altogether 35 innovation management processes and take a look at a company\u2019s businesses processes or organisation structure. Are the employees able to shape and structure the process? Specific recommendations are given. A confidential report is presented to the company on site. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Around 15 million people in Germany are affected by hearing im\u00adpediments. That\u2019s a considerable number. It is not only the elder \u00adgeneration: new-born babies are also sometimes affected by inner ear deafness. Implanted prostheses stimulate the auditory nerve and can help those affected. The European Research Council is now supporting further research into hearing prosthetics at Hannover Medical School to the tune of two million Euro over five years. Prof. Dr. Waldo Nogueira Vazquez leads the research group at the HMS Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Cochlea implants (CI) can help when the \u00adauditory nerve itself is still intact. The research looks into the reci\u00adprocal effects of acoustic and electrical stimulation. Ideally, in future the \u00adprosthesis will be located at the ear and no longer in the inner ear. This makes it more pleasant for the patient and easier for doctors to insert. \u201cI can\u2019t hear properly\u201d should then be a thing of the past. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It is a well-known fact that the world is really struggling with plastic and consequently microplastic waste. Two start-ups at Hannover \u00adUniversity of Applied Sciences are looking into a recyclable multi-use bowl known as REBOWL. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in sales of food \u201cto go\u201d, due among others to the pandemic. The cooperation project from Hannover is now working with a bioplastic material and a deposit system. The bowl can be used several times; at the end of its lifecycle, it can then be recycled without leaving any non-perishable residues. \u00adAdvantages: the bowls don\u2019t leak and withstand tempera\u00adtures of up to 85 degrees; they are available in three variants and are dark green in _colour to prevent discolouring, from turmeric for example. Together with RECUP (replacing up to 1,000 disposable cups), it is already being used on a nationwide scale. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The research and transfer centre that belongs to the HMTMH Department of Journalism and Communication Research deals with a special area of public media use. How do people find out about illnesses, how do the media report on health and illness? How can communication help to promote health? What are the health impacts of using the media anyway? The department looks at theoretical and practical questions and also examines the consequences for body and soul of staring for hours at a smartphone or table. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

One general trend shows the extent of sharing between research, prac\u00adtice and daily use. Hannover Transfer Campus does more than just \u00adreport on the results of joint projects with its partners. It offers support, finds experts for the specific tasks and thus weaves close ties between industry, culture, society and science. Initially this applies to the Region Hannover and strengthens the local partners. But it also has effects that go way beyond the region, as shown by the four examples: their success is not limited just to the region, with a huge number of applications. To find the right department of the corresponding university, the key areas of the individual institutions are as follows:<\/p>
