20 years ago, the ZIMT (Center for Information and Media Technology) was founded at the University of Siegen. To mark the anniversary, there was a ceremony in the Audimax with congratulations, reviews and outlooks.

With the new Center for Interdisciplinary Health Research (ZIGS), the University of Siegen is developing innovative concepts to improve medical care in the region. The focus is on the outpatient sector - new approaches in prevention, diagnostics, therapy and care are to be developed and tested.

The University of Siegen achieved very good results in the international THE subject ranking 2026, confirming its positive development in an international comparison. The natural sciences, engineering and computer science are particularly strong.

Scientists at the University of Siegen are researching a completely new type of sensor technology for integrated 3D cameras. The technology was developed in Siegen and promises to be cheaper, more compact and potentially more powerful than conventional solutions.

Chemist Muhammad Atif from the University of Siegen, together with colleagues from Siegen and Amsterdam, has developed a new type of hydrogel for wound dressings. It is designed to protect wounds and prevent infections. A patent has already been filed for the invention.
