Tübingen is a research city. One of Germany's oldest and most renowned universities and a wide range of top-level research institutes, including several Max Planck Institutes, the Leibniz Association and the Helmholtz Association, are located here. Together, they make Tübingen an ideal place for science and research.
The Tübingen Research Campus aims to further intensify cooperation among local research institutes and to offer joint services to scientists interested in joining us.
Partner Institutions
Tübingen's research institutions have joined forces in the Tübingen Research Campus (TRC), bringing together 14 institutions from different areas of science with one common goal: collaborating to produce outstanding research.
Industry Liaison Office
Identify innovative research, find partners, share scientific knowledge: With its extensive intra- and extra-university networking, the Industry Liaison Office offers individually tailored support for innovative and transfer-oriented research topics. This can include, for example, finding suitable partners from business, politics and society and advising on collaboration.
Tübingen is a special place for research. Very few locations offer such a wide range of research areas in such close proximity - both physically and figuratively. Not only are all of Tübingen's research institutions just a stone's throw away from each other, they also collaborate closely within the Tübingen Research Campus.
Excellence Strategy
Tübingen's unique research environment provides an ideal ground for collaborative projects in various areas. This is one of the many reasons why Tübingen is receiving funding from the German Federal and State Governments Excellence Strategy. As a consequence, excellence attracts further excellence: Over the years, more and more top-level research institutions have come to the city, forming the rich and vibrant academic community of the Tübingen Research Campus.
Joint Initiatives in Tübingen
Tübingen is an ideal place for collaboration due to the physical proximity of the partners of the TRC, which are further embedded in regional, national and international networks. Graduate and PhD programs also benefit from the presence of top-level experts at different research institutions, making Tübingen a hotspot for interdisciplinary graduate training. Here, you find a list of examples of local cooperation projects.
Life in Tübingen is life in the heart of Europe and in one of Germany's most scenic and economically competitive regions. It's a bustling mediaeval town with a young, international, and vibrant population and a rich cultural and artistic scene. Lectures, concerts, film festivals, and more: life in Tübingen never gets boring.
