Universities in Merseburg, Hamburg, and Fürth form an interconnected academic alliance
New Collaborative Network Aims to Boost Sexual Science in Germany
In a significant move to advance the field of sexual science, three leading universities have joined forces to form a collaborative network. The Medical School Hamburg, SRH University Heidelberg (Campus Fürth), and Hochschule Merseburg established this network in September 2025.
The primary objective of this collaboration is to make sexual science more visible in the German-speaking region and to strengthen professionalization in the field. The network aims to attract new talent, ensuring a sustained good utilization of the study offers of all three campuses in the future.
The universities involved in the collaboration emphasize the importance of collaboration in sexual science. They believe that by working together, they can further develop the field in a practice-oriented manner and align their high-quality study programs precisely with the needs of practice.
The network also responds to societal demand for effective measures to prevent sexualized violence. By bringing the societal relevance of sexual science perspectives more into the public eye, the universities hope to set impulses for society, research, and teaching.
Prospective students will benefit from this collaboration as they will be directed to the institution that best fits their interests and career goals. The universities have emphasized the importance of this reciprocal referencing, ensuring that students receive the best education possible.
The collaboration also creates space for continuous academic exchange, allowing researchers and students from all three campuses to share ideas and collaborate on projects. Additionally, the network aims to develop joint marketing activities to increase public awareness of the field of study.
In the long term, the collaboration intends to address prospective students more specifically, ensuring that they are well-informed about the opportunities available in the field of sexual science. The network also aims to bring the societal relevance of sexual science more into the public eye, setting impulses for society, research, and teaching.
By working together, these universities hope to strengthen the field of sexual science, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of research and education in the German-speaking region.
