Connecting Experts and Services (ConnEx)

The project Connecting Experts and Services (ConnEx) aims to intensify the networking, exchange and transfer of both technical and didactic service facilities or Institutions as well as teaching staff. ConnEx represents an important milestone and catalyst for the establishment of the state-wide umbrella structure "Hochschule.digital Niedersachsen" by setting up staff positions (50%) at (almost) all of Lower Saxony's state universities through the project. These positions are intended to initiate the desired cross-university cooperation at the locations and establish sustainable processes and networks to anchor this state-wide cooperation in the permanent structures of the universities.
