The research group of Professor Liefner is partner in the interdisciplinary research association ‘Success factors of reciprocal knowledge transfer in Chinese-German cooperation projects: Joint competence development in the research and innovation phase‘, funded by the Lower Saxonian Ministry for Science and Culture. Together with the research groups of Prof. Steffi Robak, Institute of Vocational Education and Adult Education, Prof. Monika Sester, Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics, and Prof. Michael Beer, Institute of Risk and Reliability (all LUH), the research association pursues the question, which factors condition the success – and also failure – of reciprocal knowledge transfer in Chinese-German cooperation projects for research and innovation. The research association thus wants to contribute to an improvement of German actors’ capability to cooperate efficiently and successfully even outside the ’Western‘ working culture.
