Tradition Meets Excellence
Superior achievements need a strong community: The University of Freiburg has been the scientific home of ten Nobel laureates and thirteen Leibniz Prize recipients to date.
| Priority Programs | 4 |
| Research Institutes of the Faculties | More than 100 academic departments, chairs, institutes, sections |
| Research Centers | 18 |
| Excellence Initiative | FRIAS (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies) BIOSS (Centre for Biological Signalling Studies) SGBM (Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine) IGA (International Graduate Academy) |
| Collaborative Research Centers | The university currently hosts ten such centers, in which a group of researchers collaborates for an extended period of time on an interdisciplinary research program (funded by the German Research Foundation). |
| Program and Application Advising | The Science Support Centre (SSC) advises researchers of the University of Freiburg who wish to apply for third-party funding. Such funding is offered by national or international institutions or private companies. One of the SSC’s duties is thus to provide information to researchers on potential funding programs, support them in putting together their applications, and advise them on legal issues. In addition, the SSC helps prepare and realize joint research initiatives with companies. |
