University of Excellence

WE invest in people – WE foster networks – WE create impact

The University of Bonn was successful with its strategy „WE invest in people – WE foster networks – WE create impact“. The core elements of its strategy are the six Transdisciplinary Research Areas (TRAs), which promote cutting-edge research across faculties on selected future topics.

The University of Bonn, founded in 1818, has been funded as a University of Excellence since 2019. Its goal is to further expand its research profile. The focus is on the six Transdisciplinary Research Areas (TRAs), each underpinned by a Cluster of Excellence, in which cutting-edge interdisciplinary research is conducted.

In addition, the University of Bonn has been funding additional professorships to strengthen the TRAs and areas of potential, measures to support early-career researchers and tenure track professorships at the interfaces between disciplines. Through various networks within the TRAs, but also locally, regionally and internationally, the University of Bonn cooperates with numerous partner institutions. The activities of the University of Bonn aim to generate societal impact, working as a motor for bringing research into society.

Funded Clusters of Excellence

  • HCM
    The theme of the Hausdorff Center is mathematics, of which we share a broad and dynamic vision. At its center stands the classical core: the mathematics of famous and fruitful conjectures, the mathematics that is in symbiosis with theoretical physics, and which continually reveals to us deep and unexpected connections.
    HCM
  • BCDSS
    The BCDSS at the University of Bonn aims to overcome the binary opposition of "slavery versus freedom". It is a research cluster within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments.

  • ECONtribute
    ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy, a joint initiative of the Universities of and aims to advance the analysis of markets & public policy in light of fundamental societal and technological challenges, such as digitalization, global financial crises, rising inequality and political polarization. Since 2019, ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy is funded as a Cluster of Excellence under the German Excellence Strategy. ECONtribute is the only Cluster of Excellence in Economics and neighbouring disciplines.

  • Phenorob
    The novel approach of PhenoRob is characterized by the integration of robotics, digitalization, and machine learning on one hand, and modern phenotyping, modeling, and crop production on the other. First, we will systematically monitor all essential aspects of crop production using sensor networks as well as ground and aerial robots.

  • ImmunoSensation2
    ImmunoSensation2 is a Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). We are dedicated to the study of innate immunity beyond the boundaries of classical immunology. We adress the immune system as a sensory organ for health, which we term the immune sensory system.

  • 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.
