DFG Joint research projects

The strength of the 'Stuttgart Way' in integrating interdisciplinary fields is shown by its success in securing DFG joint research projects. Within these endeavors, it is possible to realize the University of Stuttgart's innovative, challenging, and expansive research projects under optimal conditions.

The University of Stuttgart is one of Germany's premier hubs for fundamental research, boasting two clusters of excellence, four DFG Collaborative Research Centers, and two Transregios (with one holding a spokesperson role). Additionally, it oversees five DFG Research Training Groups (one in collaboration with Heidelberg where Heidelberg has taken on the role of spokesperson university) and coordinates six DFG Priority Programs.
