Academic diplomacy is becoming increasingly important in times of global challenges in the life sciences and medicine. Danube Private University (DPU) recently set a visible example of the deepening scientific ties between Austria and the United Kingdom. Their commitment is considered a key driver for networking between leading Austrian and British universities and experts. With its renewed support for the King’s Birthday Party, Danube Private University reaffirms its goal of establishing itself permanently as a player in the European research landscape. Danube Private University, based in Krems on the Danube, is one of Austria’s leading private universities in the fields of medicine, dentistry, and life sciences.
