13 Focus Areas are bringing together academics from different disciplines to advance outstanding topics. These new research networks demonstrate how the university is growing together. The new edition of BI.research magazine presents them all.
The Focus Areas emerged from university-wide dialogue as part of participatory profile building. They form a strong basis on which the university’s new strategic Profile Areas will be built in the near future. Their topics range from technological developments and social challenges to fundamental scientific research questions.
‘What connects the Focus Areas is the researchers’ enthusiasm for their topics, an ideal prerequisite for insights whose influence extends far beyond the university’, writes Professor Dr Angelika Epple, Rector of the university, in the editorial.
The magazine is available here in digital form.
