Founded in March 2014, the Institute for Management, Economics and Care in the Health Sector (IMÖVG) bundles the research competencies of the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences in the fields of health economics, health management and health services research.

Against the backdrop of increasingly scarce resources and an aging society, the institute investigates ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of health care. This requires the combination of competencies from the fields of business administration, economics, medicine and law, which the institute ensures through its interdisciplinary orientation.
Here, the Institute can build on the interdisciplinarity that has developed in the field of health economics since 2000 at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences in the context of teaching and transfer. As part of its research activities, the institute will enable master students in the field of health economics and health care management to work on research projects at the institute and thus increase their research competence.
