University of Excellence

The Integrated Interdisciplinary University of Science and Technology. Knowledge. Impact. Networks.

RWTH Aachen University (RWTH) has been funded in the Excellence Strategy since 2019. Before, it was also funded in the Excellence Initiative. The title of its overall strategy is "The Integrated Interdisciplinary University of Science and Technology. Knowledge. Impact. Networks."

With over 47,000 students, the RWTH Aachen University (RWTH) is one of the largest technical universities in Germany. Through excellence funding, RWTH has developed into an “Integrated Interdisciplinary University of Science and Technology” with a focus on the convergence of knowledge, methods, and findings.

RWTH’s goal is to create a nationally and internationally unique environment for teaching, research, and knowledge transfer with dynamic research networks that transcend disciplinary and organisational boundaries. To this end, it devised a total of ten measures which focus on different performance areas and and further areas of activity to implement RWTH’s overall strategy.

Funded Clusters of Excellence

  • Fuel Science Center
    The fundamental research in the Cluster of Excellence "The Fuel Science Center – Adaptive Conversion Systems for Renewable Energy and Carbon Sources" (FSC) aims to integrate renewable electricity with the joint utilization of bio-based carbon feedstocks and CO2 to provide high-density liquid energy carriers ("bio-hybrid fuels"), which enable innovative engine concepts for highly efficient and clean combustion.
    Fuel Science Center
  • IoP
    The vision of the Internet of Production (IoP) is to enable a new level of crossdomain collaboration by providing semantically adequate and context-aware data from production, development and usage in real-time, on an adequate level of granularity.
    IoP
  • ML4Q
    ML4Q stands for Matter and Light for Quantum Computing. The Cluster of Excellence set off in 2019 for a long collaborative journey in order to develop new computing and networking architectures using new findings in the fundamental research in solid-state physics, quantum optics, and quantum information science.
