Especially employees with families often face special challenges in science in order to balance career and family. This makes it all the more important for us at BNITM to provide the best possible individual solutions. We are convinced that science and society benefit from diversity and are committed to the goals of equality, diversity and internationalisation.
 

• Setting ethical standards

Our research shall exclusively serve humane and peaceful purposes. We therefore protect ourselves against the misuse of our research. We also fully respect the rights of countries and patients to their biological resources. We avoid or minimise any negative effects of our research on people, society and the environment. With our work we are committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

• Achieving goals together

Our goal is clear: We want to conduct relevant and excellent research. To achieve this, we rely on a trustworthy and reliable partnership with national and international research institutions and organisations. We focus our cooperation on sustainable success for the benefit of all parties involved.

We are committed to a strong regional research environment and recruit excellent scientists through competitive processes. In addition, we create additional infrastructures and sharpen the profiles of Hamburg as a location for science.

We rely on a global alumni network consisting of former BNITM employees and participants of BNITM training events. In this way, we facilitate cooperation and increase the visibility of the BNITM.

Collegial cooperation at the BNITM contributes significantly to our success. We promote this by valuing in-house collaborations, creating opportunities for regular scientific exchange and developing goals together with our employees. We advocate a sustainable  organisational structure solution that will ensure that the BNITM will continue to be maintained as a unit at one location.
