Research with Impact: Study Shows How Science and Society Can Work More Closely Together
A new exploratory study by the “Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V.” shows what structural conditions need to be established to bring science and society into closer collaboration throughout the research process. It highlights what is already working well in Germany and where there is potential for a research culture that is both socially impactful and democratically grounded.
The spin-off Plain Medical has emerged from the long-standing collaboration between the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS and the Radboud University Medical Center (UMC). Based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, the company began operations in the summer of 2025. Its mission is to accelerate routine radiological tasks through intelligent automation and to pave the way for a new generation of AI-driven diagnostics. In doing so, it aims to address the growing shortage of radiology professionals in Europe and to relieve the burden on clinical staff.
