With the appointment of a joint professorship, two of the major institutions in the field of higher education research are intensifying their cooperation.

The German Center for Higher Education and Science Research (DZHW) is a research institute funded by the federal and state governments and based in Hanover and Berlin.

Kleimann received his doctorate in philosophy from Justus Liebig University in Giessen in 2000, after completing master's studies at the universities of Hagen, Marburg and Tübingen and working as a research assistant at the University of Hamburg. He habilitated at the University of Kassel in 2015.

From 2001 to 2014, Kleimann worked in the Higher Education Development Department of Hochschul-Informations-System GmbH, from which he moved to DZHW in 2014. In addition to his professorship in Kassel, he heads the department of Governance in Higher Education and Science at the DZHW. In addition, he is a lecturer at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences.

As a professor at the University of Kassel, Kleimann has also joined the board of directors of INCHER-Kassel. The University of Kassel and the DZHW had agreed on a joint appointment in 2017 as part of a cooperation.
