International Fellows @ FCMH
Would you like to expand your network internationally or intensify your international cooperation? Have you met a researcher at a conference with whom you can envision a joint research project and wish to invite this person to Central Hessen? Are you looking to recruit international researchers for an open position and want to get to know them better during their visit?
The Research Campus of Central Hessen (FCMH) supports you with the "International Fellows @ FCMH" programme. it offers international fellows the opportunity to get to know researchers from the entire FCMH network and to experience the diversity of the science region of Central Hessen.
The FCMH supports you with the "International Fellows @ FCMH" program!

Personnel Top-Level Funding
Three (tenure track) professorships and two junior research group in "emerging fields" of cutting-edge research have been established at the two universities Gießen and Marburg via the Research Campus of Central Hessen. This measure strengthens top-level research, early career scientists and the cooperation between the universities on the research campus in equal measure. On these pages, the head of the junior research group and holders of the professorships will introduce themselves to you.

THMconnectFCMH Funds (line of funding terminated)
With the three calls for proposals for "THMconnectFCMH Funds", THM was pursuing the strategic goal of expanding cooperation with the two university partners of the Research Campus of Central Hessen (Justus Liebig University Giessen and Philipps University Marburg).
-
Flexi Funds (line of funding terminated)
The Research Campus of Central Hessen aimed at strengthening regional collaborations in research and the support of early career researchers. It created future-oriented structures focused on promoting cutting-edge research. Flexi Funds were a funding format of the Research Campus to support this goal.
The Flexi Funds have now expired and researchers can apply for funding through the Experimentation Spaces instead.

- FinD Mi - Research Infrastructure Database
-
The Research Campus of Central Hessen aims to strengthen the local research landscape. We seek to create future-oriented structures for sustainable excellence in research. One measure of the Research Campus to achieve this goal is the project Research Infrastructure Database. Funded by the The Hessen State Ministry for Higher Education, Research and the Arts, the project seeks to identify and collect the local research infrastructures and research services of the participating universities and collaboration partners in one consolidated database..

- CAMPS RESEARCH FOCI
- The three Central Hessian universities have many areas of intersection in their subjects and, at the same time, owing to the difference in scientific profiles and to the strategy of creating professorships to be distinct but to intermesh with each other at the three institutions, their specialities are complementary, lending themselves to collaboration. In many fields, joint research activities have therefore been an established practice for many years. Cross-university cooperation is now funnelling into the Campus Research Foci. These contain thematically focused joint research clusters which pursue common scientific goals, are developing strategically and are successful in scientific competition.
- Digital Medicine and E-Health
- With an increasing digitalisation of personal data, new methods for analysis and treatment are opening up in medicine, offering a fast and coherent profile of the patient.
- Hospital Hygiene
- The goal of the Campus Research Focus “Hospital Hygiene” is to implement an active management of infection prevention and infection control in hospital hygiene.
- Insect Biotechnology and Bioresources
- The scientists of the Campus Research Focus “Insect Biotechnology and Bioresources“ employ biotechnological methods to use insects as a resource for new molecules for applications in medicine, crop protection and industrial biotechnology.
- Lung and Heart
- To date, the available therapies for most respiratory and heart diseases only relieve disease symptoms, but do not cure the disease itself. It is here that scientists from the Research Campus Focus “Lung and Heart” come into play, investigating the causes and mechanisms of disease in order to develop new approaches for prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
- Material, Molecule and Energy
- The Campus Research Focus “Material, Molecule and Energy” is excellently networked on both a regional and an international scale. Scientists at the Universities of Giessen and Marburg and the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences conduct joint interdisciplinary research with other universities and research partners in Germany and abroad, applying theoretical, experimental and application-oriented approaches.
- Microorganisms and Viruses
- This Campus Research Focus pools the molecular, ecological and medical expertise in microbiology, virology and parasitology of the universities of Giessen and Marburg and the THM University of Applied Sciences, with the cooperation partners Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Paul Ehrlich Institute in Langen and the University Hospital of Giessen and Marburg.
- Mind, Brain and Behaviour
- Understanding the brain and, ultimately, the human mind is the key goal of the joint activities of the Campus Research Focus "Mind, Brain and Behaviour." Basic research projects span from subcellular processes to the whole brain, in healthy subjects and in neurological and psychiatric patients.
- Security - Conflict - Order
- As regions of conflict, Eastern Europe and the Near and Middle East are in the focus of global interest and global politics. Not only are the relations between the two regions and Western Europe changing and intensifying dramatically, producing tensions and conflict, but also developments in the relationship of the Near and Middle East with Eastern Europe are dynamic and ever more critical.
- Space Applications
- Scientists from the Campus Research Focus “Space Applications” are addressing various challenges in the field of electric propulsion. The inter-institutional Laboratory for Space Applications (LaRa) of JLU and THM provides test-facilities for operating electric thrusters under space conditions.
- PROFILE AREAS
- In addition to the Campus Research Foci, the FCMH has further profile areas in joint fields of activity which are being strategically intensified. More joint fields of activity are likely in the future.
- Climate and Climate Change Impact
- The scientists involved in the Campus Profile Area of “Climate and Climate Change Impact” are investigating processes in the climate system and mitigation and adaptation strategies in the course of climate change.
- Infections and Inflammations
- Inflammations are one of the most common clinical phenomena in medicine. They have various causes, i.e. they may or may not be induced by infections. In spite of the development of antibiotics and vaccines in the last century, infections are still responsible for a large number of illnesses and deaths worldwide every year.
- Reproduction in Humans and Animals
- Infertility is a problem that confronts one in six to seven of couples hoping to have children. Roughly a third of all cases of limited fertility or complete infertility are attributable to the female or the male partner, while up to 40% cases are due to disorders in both partners.
- Tumour Research and Immunology
- In Germany, 500,000 new patients are diagnosed with cancer every year. Malignant tumours are genetic diseases; the majority of the mutations responsible are acquired in the course of a lifetime.
