Clusters of Excellence

Since the very first funding period in 2006, Clusters of Excellence have stood for cutting-edge research in German universities. These collaborative and productive centres not only interact with various cooperation partners in Germany and internationally, they also offer outstanding opportunities for research careers in Germany. The list of funded projects provides an overview where research flourishes in Germany and what topics researchers are working on.

Universities of Excellence

Since 2019, ten universities and one university consortium have been funded under the Excellence Strategy. Universities of Excellence or University Consortia of Excellence receive funding to further strengthen their institutional profile and international standing in research based on their Clusters of Excellence.
