With the ambitious goal of developing new concepts for more efficient ultra-fast electronics, the Center for Chiral Electronics Cluster of Excellence aims to counteract the increase in energy consumption caused by new technologies such as AI and cloud computing in sustainable manner.

The ImmunoPreCept Cluster of Excellence sees health as an active, dynamic process sustained by the continuous interaction between the immune and tissue systems to adapt organisms to changes in their environment. The aim is to understand where these mechanisms begin to fail, enabling early diagnostics and effective prevention.

Our world is becoming increasingly complex, with rapid advances in technological development and digitalization. How can applied mathematics guide us in overcoming society’s challenges? The MATH+ Cluster of Excellence provides solutions and new perspectives.

Materials are not passive, but alive and active. This is the assumption made by researchers at the Matters of Activity Cluster of Excellence, who are investigating biogenic materials as a source of inspiration and raw materials for architecture, design, and product development. Learn more here!

Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice—that is the goal of the NeuroCure Cluster of Excellence, which focuses on neuroscience. Here, diseases are researched across the entire spectrum of life: from embryonic development to old age.

Artificial intelligence is taking over our everyday lives – yet we actually know very little about the fundamental principles of intelligence. Researchers from the Science of Intelligence Cluster of Excellence want to unravel this mystery. Find out more here!

The Contestations of the Liberal Script (SCRIPTS) Cluster of Excellence deals with challenges to the liberal order. The rise of populist parties or the war in Ukraine—the relevance of this research topic becomes more pressing every day. Learn more here!

The Cluster of Excellence “Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective” explores how literature constantly reinvents itself in ever-changing interrelationships with other arts and media, thereby opening up alternative perspectives on the worlds in which we live.

Green chemistry – is it possible? The UniSyCat Cluster of Excellence is conducting research into making chemical processes more environmentally friendly. One focus of its research is the enzyme hydrogenase, which could be used to develop a fuel cell that works on biological principles.
