Knowledge transfer between science and society: Research at the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) has delivered key insights during the coronavirus pandemic. Prof. Dr. Jonas Schreyögg, Director of the HCHE and Chair of Management in Healthcare, offers a behind-the-scenes look and explains how the public is informed about the findings — for example, through collaboration with the press.

Excellence and Transfer

Transfer into the Industry and Society

Connections between academia, business, and society emerge on many levels. For example, spin-offs are founded to transfer knowledge from university research into the business world. Business representatives and researchers engage in dialogue at round tables, fostering mutual exchange. The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce is also a key partner of the Business School, offering a platform for academic lectures. Public formats such as public lectures and 'Wissen vom Fass' make research accessible to a wider audience.

Researchers at the Business School advise companies such as PwC, Warner Music, Google, and Bertelsmann. Their expertise also extends to political institutions, including the German Federal Ministry of Health (BMG), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah in Saudi Arabia, leading to significant social impact.

Professors are actively engaged in the private sector and civil society — from start-ups to major corporations, as well as in the church and political spheres. Through their roles as chairs or members of advisory and supervisory boards, they help shape developments beyond the university. Their expertise forms a vital foundation for decision-making — for instance, on the Advisory Council on the Assessment of Developments in the Health Care System, the Supervisory Board of the Madsack Media Group, or the Advisory Board of Itzehoer Versicherung.
