The Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Kiel University, CAU), founded 1665, uses research, teaching and the transfer of science to address the great challenges of our time in health, environmental and cultural change, nutrition and energy. The Faculty of Medicine is committed to medical and dental research and education. It particularly focuses on digital medicine and handling medical datasets. The pre-clinical and clinical-theoretical institutes are located on the CAU campuses, whereas the clinical departments can be found at the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) on its main campus in Kiel. The UKSH also consists a second major university hospital which is associated with the University of Lübeck.
