One of the strengths of the Northwest Alliance lies in particular in its diverse and extensive network. A central role is played by the numerous scientific and non-scientific institutions in the region, with which both universities maintain close and collaborative partnerships. <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

The University of Groningen is an internationally-oriented university with a rich academic tradition. Since its founding in 1614, it has nurtured outstanding scientists, including the first Dutch astronaut and several Nobel Prize winners. The university is located in the northern region of the Netherlands. It combines education and research with social and economic progress. These areas of focus are reflected in its three profile areas: energy, healthy aging, and sustainable society. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) is a foundation that promotes science. Since 1997, it has annually awarded between 50 and 60 grants for research fellows in Delmenhorst, thus promoting excellent science in northwestern Germany. The HWK allows its fellows to concentrate on a research project free from other academic obligations and promotes interdisciplinary dialogue by offering opportunities for cooperation and exchange. The fellows benefit from the close cooperation with the universities in Bremen and Oldenburg and other regional research institutes, as well as from a large international alumni network. In this way, the HWK also supports the internationalization of regional science and its Clusters of Excellence. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
