About "Mobility & Exchange":
In order to stengthen the already existing collaborations in the field of rare diseases and to make sure that these will withstand the test of time, the support of excellent young researchers and future top executives is vital. Young doctors and researchers must become aware of rare diseases so as to be able to dedicate their time and efforts to researching them. Due to the DAAD-network “Research for Rare Diseases and Personalised Medicine”, every year academic visits lasting for several months to paediatric centres in our partner countries will be made possible. Every year, for two to six months, a young scientist from Bangkok, Boston, Isfahan, Kayseri, Tel Aviv, Medellín and Toronto will be able to research for rare diseases in Munich and a young scientist from Munich will be able to resarch for rare diseases at our partner institutions.
