EU funding
For many years LMU participates highly successful in all European programmes and regularly achieves top positions in national and international rankings.
The European Union‘s funding mechanism for research and innovation operates in multi-year framework programs, which are internally structured to e.g. scientific excellence, mobility of re-searchers, international collaborations as well as knowledge transfer.
Horizon Europe
