Associated Institutions
Within the University of Hamburg, the Department of Biology cooperates in research and teaching with, among others, the University Hospital Eppendorf (UKE) and the Center for Earth System Research (CEN). The Department of Biology also works closely with the Botanical Garden (Loki-Schmidt-Garten) and the Center for Natural History (CeNak) of the University of Hamburg. These two institutions are "showcases of science" and thus play an important role in teaching biological knowledge to the interested public through lectures, exhibitions and guided tours.
