There is an intensive exchange of information among institutes and clinics. Cooperation and interdisciplinary research are coordinated at regular meetings, and teaching and research are attuned to the activities of other institutes and clinics. Institutes and clinics always act in the interest of the University as a whole. Those individuals responsible for the administration of institutes and clinics are guided by the principles of sound management, and chairpersons are responsible for leading and motivating coworkers. Teamwork is expected.
Research is financed with public funds as well as by fund raising.
