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.

A mentoring program for women has been running at the University of Siegen for 15 years. A reason to rejoice, because the interest of female academics in the Women's Mentoring Siegen (FraMeS) program remains high. But also a reason for irritation: do women in science need extra support? Yes, according to the anniversary celebration. Unfortunately, the answer is still yes.

The University of Siegen is taking part in STADTRADELN again this year. All university members can once again collect kilometers for the university team. Registration is now open.
