National Offensive for the Development of Scientific and Economic Excellence
is the title of the research funding programm by the state Hessen. With this programm the state government is supporting the universities and research institutions in Hessen for continously developing their provile and reaching their strategic goals. LOEWE is fostering exceptional collaborative research projects, with a special focus on integrating university- and extra-university research with the industry. Within LOEWE there are three lines of funding established:
Centers - already existing, visible research foci of the hessian research environment will be extended towards local and regional research centers.
Focus areas - selected research topics of the universities and research institutions in Hessen will be bundled.
SME-collaborative research - funding line for strengthening the collaboration between small and mediate hessian enterprises (SME) with the universities and research institutions in Hessen.
In the following the current and past centers and focus areas with the Philipps-Universität Marburg as leading or participating university are listed. For further information please visit ProLOEWE - LOEWE research initative networks.
