The German arm of Congrex, the congress organiser and association management company, will plan events on behalf of a university subsidiary after entering into an exclusive partnership deal.

Congrex Germany, based in Berlin, has penned a five-year contract with RWTH International Academy - the executive academy of RWTH Aachen University in Dusseldorf.

The arrangement means Congrex will organise events hosted by the university and the University Hospital Aachen.  RWTH International Academy is a not-for-profit subsidiary of RWTH Aachen University, and offers further education programmes for international professionals and students.

Helmut Dinger, director of RWTH International Academy, said: “Our goal is to use our bundled skills to ensure professional branding and execution of events organised by the RWTH Aachen University and the University Hospital Aachen and thus expand our conference activity.”

Stephanie Hellstedt, managing director of Congrex Germany, added: “We look forward to working with one of the most respected universities in Germany and are certain that both organisations will permanently profit from this.”
