Bringing together leaders from the energy and health sectors, the discussion will explore how strategic collaboration with German and Australian universities can drive innovation, strengthen competitiveness, and unlock access to highly skilled research talent.
The roundtable will focus on business and technology challenges, highlighting how applied research and industry-driven doctoral projects can create measurable commercial value through innovation, process optimisation, sustainability, digitalisation, and future workforce development.
In light of Australia’s prospective association with Horizon Europe — the world’s largest research funding program - AHK Australien and the University of Bayreuth seek to foster high-impact partnerships between industry and academia, including opportunities for joint grant applications and international research collaboration.
As the only German university with a permanent presence in Australia, the University of Bayreuth is uniquely positioned to co-lead this initiative, supported by its strong and active research and Higher Degree Research (HDR) network across the country.
