Attractive and Lively Research Location
Combining teaching and research quality
What makes us attractive for scientists*? A lot - but especially the fact that we are an attractive and lively research location. Our spectrum is both focused and diverse: we concentrate on four profile focal points, but do not forget research across universities and faculties. We don't work for prizes, but we are happy about them - as well as about our excellently recognized Collaborative Research Centres and Research Training Groups.
