A kidney transplant – now what? The after-treatment project NTx360° aims at improving the patients’ quality of life and the longevity of transplants. Patients benefit from tightly knit support – including specialized case management and telemedicine – rounded off by fitness programs and psychological therapies to enhance emotional well-being. Lower Saxony is the model region for the new treatment form NTx360°. Moritz, a kidney transplant recipient, takes part in the program and describes its benefits.

It was the sale of indulgences that the followers of the Reformation criticized most sharply. The notion of redeeming oneself of sin and purgatory by means of payment in order to evade hell collided with the reformists’ belief in a benevolent god and their hopes of reforming the church. Hanover’s city archive, which stores and restores Hanovarian letters of indulgence from pre-Reformation times, has now put these letters at the disposal of students for a research project of Leibniz Universität Hannover's Institute of History.
Innovative implants are becoming increasingly important. In Hanover, researchers from the fields of medicine, natural sciences, and engineering rely on transdisciplinarity. They join forces to develop safe and infection-resistant cardiovascular, cochlear, orthopaedic, and dental implants. This all takes place along the “Science Line” at the heart of research location Hanover.
Cardiovascular diseases, like heart attacks and strokes, rank among the most common fatal diseases world-wide and in Germany, where cardiovascular problems account for 40% of all deaths. For some time now, the close connection between heart attacks and infections has been a well-known fact. But the question remained as to how they were connected. Based on his many years of professional experience, heart surgeon Axel Haverich has developed a theory that sheds a new light on arteriosclerosis.
To what extent can research institutions respond to the expectations and challenges set by societal stakeholders? How can real dialogue and productive interaction between universities, civil society and policymakers be achieved? Which structural obstacles have to be overcome in order to enhance communication between science and society? These are some of the questions 24 international partners from 3 Continents are trying to answer. Hannover was host of the NUCLEUS annual conference in October 2017. It marked the project’s transition from capacity-building to implementation!
