Main Research

The core competence of today’s Universität Stuttgart lies in the interdisciplinary cooperation within its research activities. Since its foundation, the university's academic profile has always been characterised by practical and application-oriented research based on solid theoretical foundations. With regular third-party funding of over 100 million euros annually, Stuttgart academics have maintained their leading position in the research market for many years; in terms of the number of professors, they are top of the league in Germany.
