Prof. Dr. Johanna Apfel-Starke

The fascinating thing about research and teaching is that they are incredibly diverse, always new and at the cutting edge. Due to the diversity of departments and interdisciplinary teams, each project is new and unique and comes with a wide range of requirements - be it in terms of processes, infrastructure or methodology. The challenge is to see these requirements in the overall MHH picture and to consider the current and future processes in patient care with every innovation. The integration of research and teaching into current developments in patient care, administration and international projects is of crucial importance and the focus of the CSIO's role. This includes managing the IT Advisory Board R&L, updating a digital strategy for research and teaching, integrating IT demand management, working in national committees and preparing projects with an impact on the entire MHH.
