The "Campus to World" project strengthened the transfer of ideas, knowledge and technology between the H-BRS and society from 2018 to 2022. The focus was on citizens, municipal partnerships and business cooperations. Project partners such as Wissenschaftsladen Bonn and  Forschungszentrum Jülich supported the institutes and facilities of the H-BRS. The federal-state initiative "Innovative University" funded the project with nine million euros over five years.
