Research projects and special funding
The University of Passau is pursuing the goal of further expanding its research strength and is very well positioned for this in all faculties. Visible signs of this dynamic are important acquisitions and research projects with a driving function for our further development, including grants from the European Research Council, coordinated projects in the EU Research Framework Programme, Research Training Groups funded by the German Research Foundation, as well as several junior research groups funded by various funding organisations. The same applies to several large consortium projects, such as the Passau Centre for eHumanities the International Research and Innovation Centre on Digital Intelligent Systems (IRIXYS) the East-Bavarian Centre of Internet Competence, SKILL.de in the field of teacher training and PATEC in the area of start-up support.
