Manchester–Heidelberg Research Fund
The University of Manchester and the Heidelberg University have established a joint fund to deepen and extend collaborative research links between the universities.
As leaders in research and innovation, our universities share a commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and addressing global challenges.
Through providing seed funding we hope to foster lasting and sustainable connections that lead to larger initiatives and external funding.
