International research projects at KVUH build on the professional collaboration between physicians and scientists and their international partners. They arise from shared research topics, professional contacts, and long-standing professional relationships.

KVUH participates in various types of projects—ranging from smaller collaborations to large-scale international consortium projects within European and other programs. In individual projects, it acts as the coordinating institution, principal investigator, or partner.
