Five partners - one overarching goal: The M1 Munich Medicine Alliance aims to promote science, research and innovation and raise the international profile of Munich as a medical location. "Together," is one of the slogans, "we create progress in research and patient care." LMU, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), LMU Klinikum, TUM Klinikum and Helmholtz Munich have joined forces to form the strategic alliance. The official launch of the new collaboration will took place this week with a ceremony and a specialist symposium.
