Located in the State of Connecticut in the United States, Yale University has been one of the ten best universities in the world for years (source: Times Higher Education Ranking) and is one of the eight Ivy League universities in the USA. The partnership agreement between Yale and MCI includes the reciprocal secondment of researchers, lecturers, and students, intensified cooperation based on Marshall Plan Scholarships and the Fulbright Program as well as joint projects, particularly in the fields of medical, health, and sports technology.
The Yale School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics, is delighted to announce the continued academic cooperation with MCI: “Over the past three years, we have had the pleasure of graciously hosting engineering master’s students from MCI, Marshall Plan scholars, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange and mutual growth at the School of Engineering's Center for Engineering, Innovation and Design, as well as a Rehabilitation Unit at Yale New Haven Bridgeport Hospital, Milford Campus. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities this partnership brings, driving innovation and excellence in the field of orthopaedics and engineering.”
Susanne Lichtmannegger, MCI Associate Dean International Relations, is pleased about the arising options: “MCI can now knock on the door of the best addresses worldwide and is well received there. The collaboration with the Yale School of Medicine, with its close connection to the Yale School of Engineering, offers MCI researchers, lecturers, and students unique opportunities; at the same time, we are delighted to be able to involve top-class colleagues from Yale University in research and teaching at MCI and to intensify scientific exchange.”
Yeongmi Kim, MCI Professor of Medical Engineering, expresses her excitement: “Research, innovation, and know-how transfer cannot be confined within national borders in order to be successful. Scientific progress and innovative solutions require international exchange, personal encounters, the sharing of knowledge, and common dreams of how to make the world an even better place.
Through years of student exchange programs, we have directly experienced the tangible benefits of collaborative efforts, ranging from publishing impactful research papers to sustaining continuous academic exchanges. I am delighted that this scientific collaboration has now been formalized, and I believe this official partnership will open doors to exciting opportunities in the future.”
Daniel Sieber, MCI Professor and Associate Dean of Medical & Health Technologies is pleased to confirm: “The United States has been and will remain a strategic ally, partner, and joint driving force for Europe. Through Yale University, this strategic partnership gains a brilliant mosaic stone and an exciting pillar for our academic future. I look forward to the upcoming collaboration and the promising opportunities it brings.”
