There is a new prize for outstanding teaching at the University of Siegen. The "Teaching Prize of the University of Siegen" will be awarded for the first time this year and will be presented annually in future. It is endowed with 5,000 euros.

For the first time, the University of Siegen invited alumni who graduated or completed their doctorate in 2000 to a "silver jubilee celebration". Over 100 graduates attended the reception in the Audimax on the Adolf-Reichwein-Straße campus and received their anniversary certificates from Rector Prof. Dr. Stefanie Reese.

A ballot will be held at the university from 13.06 - 27.06.2025 and every vote is needed.

The hot phase of student co-determination begins at the University of Siegen at the end of June: the student parliament and student councils will be newly elected. If you want to have a say, you should make a note of the election dates - and don't forget your student ID. Nominations are possible until June 2.

Visitors to the "Open University 2025" on May 24 were able to experience first-hand just how lively research, studies and campus life are at the University of Siegen.

Global visibility as a location for excellent physics, two new professorships and more opportunities for students and doctoral candidates: The "Color meets Flavor" Cluster of Excellence is giving the Siegen physics department and the entire university a boost.

In addition to the "Color meets Flavor" Cluster of Excellence, physicists from the University of Siegen will be involved in another Cluster of Excellence from 2026. The "Experimental Quantum Optics" working group led by Prof. Dr. Christof Wunderlich is a cooperation partner in the "ML4Q" cluster for quantum research.

The University of Siegen has been awarded the contract for a Cluster of Excellence in the field of elementary particle physics. The project with partners Bonn, Dortmund and Jülich was successful in the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments - it will receive a total of around 60 million euros in funding over the next seven years.
