The Göttingen Campus

The Göttingen location has come to be synonymous with high-quality international research. To ensure that this remains the case in the future, the University of Göttingen, including the University Medical Center, and seven non-university local research centres have joined forces to form the Göttingen Campus.

By drawing on their joint strengths and potential, campus partners have created a unique and stimulating environment that encourages diversity and an active exchange between professors, researchers and doctoral students.

Across the Göttingen Campus, there are currently more than 5,900 researchers working in nearly every scientific discipline.

Within the Göttingen Campus, the quality of teaching and training of early career scientists is assured and continuously improved by joint graduate programmes and inter-institute junior research groups.

Science on campus benefits from excellent joint third-party funded projects and 23 joint professorships between the University and non-university institutions.

  • Another good ranking and top ratings in life sciences
    The University of Göttingen is one of the 15 best universities in Germany according to the DFG Funding Atlas 2024. From 2020 to 2022, it acquired a total of 232.5 million euros in research funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The life sciences were once again particularly successful, taking fifth place in Germany. The subjects with the highest DFG ratings at the University of Göttingen include Agricultural Sciences, Forest Sciences,…
  • The German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund a new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) led by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) from 1 April 2025. The new CRC 1690, entitled “Disease Mechanisms and Functional Restoration of Sensory and Motor Systems”, will receive more than twelve million euros for an initial funding period of just under four years. MBExC spokesperson Prof. Dr. Tobias Moser, Director of the Institute for Auditory…
  • Newly analyzed data from ESA’s Solar Orbiter offer a unique view of the entire solar disk.
    New images of the Sun’s visible surface released today show the entire solar disk in unprecedented detail. They were created by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany from observational data obtained by Solar Orbiter’s Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) from March 22 of last year. At that time, Solar Orbiter was cruising just outside Mercury’s orbit and from there had an unobstructed view of…
  • When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) developed a model that can be used to simulate the self-organization of thread-like living matter. This model provides important insights for potential technical applications in the formation of…
  • Dr. Theodosios Chatzistergos looks into the past of our star and analyzes historical solar observations. Now he has received an important award.
    For his research findings on the historical activity of the Sun, the European Space Weather and Space Climate Association has honored Dr. Theodosios Chatzistergos from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany with the Alexander Chizhevsky Medal. The award was presented yesterday during the European Space Weather Week in Coimbra, Portugal. In his research, the scientist looks into the past of our star and uses historical…
