Network of University Medicine

The Network of University Medicine (NUM) was founded in April 2020 as part of the crisis management against the COVID-19 pandemic to coordinate clinical COVID-19 research throughout academic medical centers. The idea: wherever joint action and a coordinated approach brings synergies, speed or other advantages, the NUM is intended to promote cooperation between clinical researchers. Accordingly, the NUM's research projects are clinically orientated and strive for directly practice-relevant findings in order to provide better care for patients or better manage major crises in the field of public health.
