Research profile
The University of Siegen is developing its research profile in line with major societal challenges and promotes excellent, internationally visible research. It strengthens both basic and application-oriented research in a broad range of subjects and focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation. Special emphasis is placed on the strategic funding of coordinated third-party funded projects, for example by the DFG and the EU. A central role is played by the enabling culture, which creates scope for explorative research and provides incentives to tackle global challenges. In addition, the university specifically supports profile and potential areas in order to react flexibly to scientific and social developments and strengthen its international competitiveness.
Cluster of Excellence
Color meets flavor
With the "Color meets Flavor" Cluster of Excellence, the University of Siegen is making an essential contribution to elementary particle physics. Together with the universities of Bonn and Dortmund, top international research is being conducted here - Siegen is contributing its many years of expertise in quark flavor physics. The Cluster of Excellence strengthens the University's research profile, promotes young scientists and makes Siegen visible worldwide as a location for excellent physics.
Our areas of potential
Our university promotes dynamic fields of research with great potential. Targeted support creates innovative research clusters that strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation and can develop into profile areas. This is how we create the foundations for the excellent science of tomorrow.
