On April 28, 2026, NIBB and the University of Konstanz entered into an academic exchange agreement (MoU).The Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) and the Collaborative Research Center 1756 (CRC 1756) at the University of Konstanz comprise researchers from both biology and chemistry fields, actively advancing research in chemical biology. CRC 1756 is a dedicated program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the University of Konstanz, and serves as a central initiative to advance both education and research within the field of chemical biology. Prior to this agreement, NIBB, KoRS-CB, and CRC 1756 have already engaged in collaborative research concerning plant membrane traffic, alongside mutual visits by researchers. Upon the formalization of this agreement, it is hoped that collaborative research projects, reciprocal visits from students, and the sharing of techniques and information will be actively conducted between both institutes.
