Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany

GERMANY

Since its foundation in 1889, the Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) has been one of the leading clinics in Europe. Based on the interconnection of medicine, research, and teaching, all employees at the UKE work hand in hand toward a common aim – the health and well-being of our patients. It is for them that we perform research. It is for them that we teach. And it is for them that we continue to learn.

With about 14.100 employees, the UKE is the third-largest employer in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
