Strategic Research Fields
Changing Orders in a Globalised World
As one of the University’s three strategic research fields, this field deals primarily with processes of social organisation and globalisation. It is subdivided into the research profile areas of “Global Connections and Comparisons” and “Contested Order”.
Sustainable Principles for Life and Health
This strategic research field comprises four research profile areas that investigate the foundations of life and health in humans, nature and the environment. Researchers work in transdisciplinary projects to advance basic and applied research and its transfer into society.
Intelligent Methods and Materials
The researchers work together on topics involving language and the digital age, investigate the properties of molecules to complex nanostructures or cell mechanics, and deal with structural questions in mathematics, physics and computer science.
