About transCampus
The transCampus is a transnational strategic partnership of two elite universities with common deans, professors, and administrative structures. We combine the strengths of two leading countries in Europe using complementary portfolios and infrastructure. This results in scientific and economic advantages and new funding opportunities. transCampus is a research-strong partnership that now extends far beyond its origins in the life sciences. The successful interdisciplinary cooperation is to be further intensified and expanded across disciplines.

transCampus Research Award
In 2020, King's College London presented the transCampus Research Award providing 100,000 GBP in total for joint research projects at King's College and TUD. Four projects of 25,000 GBP each have eventually been granted to realise their research initiatives in the period of November 2020 to November 2021. The projects pursue innovative research in stem cell therapy, brain repair, the understanding of inter-individual behaviour and in the design principles of chiral-induced spin selectivity.
