Life is a gift. Medicine’s job is to keep it healthy. University medicine is a combination of research, teaching and patient care, providing a threefold service for all. For over 30 years Uniklinik RWTH Aachen has been helping sick people, training doctors to the latest standards and developing innovative methods of detecting and treating diseases.

The Stiftung Universitätsmedizin Aachen aims to intensify bridge building to other research institutions and so make medical advances and the latest diagnosis and treatment methods available to patients faster. Our foundation helps those active in research, healing and the alleviation of suffering.

Their mission is to support medical care, the transfer of research and clinical applications, and the dissemination of knowledge to future generations of doctors.

The Stiftung Universitätsmedizin Aachen concentrates its involvement in three key areas: the transfer of medical and/or technical findings into patient care, the training of doctors, nurses and carers creating comprehensive patient care for Aachen and the region.

All these areas are intertwined: only by promoting wide-ranging medical research can we enhance clinical care using new methods of treatment and diagnosis, and thus train future of generations of doctors in state of the art medicine.

The foundation only supports specific projects, so that the funding only gets to where it is needed. All donations and every other kind of funding also contribute to making Aachen and the region a better place to live and love.
