Research
Our scholars produce excellent individual research; however, interdisciplinary research conducted within impactful, international research groups and consortia is an equally essential part of the culture of research at the University of Passau. The research-intensive faculties of the University of Passau bundle their academic excellence in three overarching themes and continuously develop them in a targeted, interdisciplinary manner:
The Digital Research Magazine is the University’s central platform for information about its research activities, which presents selected projects on our research themes in a high-quality online format. In the magazine, you can also see the profiles of the researchers behind major projects, who are working across faculty boundaries on the research themes.
Research services and science communication
When conducting world-class research, academics must rely on their creativity; but they also require administrative structures that reliably and comprehensively support them in their work. The Research Services Division provides professional and comprehensive advice and support on securing funding from German and international funding providers. The Executive Support Unit for Research Strategy and Science Communication advises and supports our scholars in making their research known to a wider public.
Advancement of early career researchers
A university that strives to maintain sustained excellence in research and teaching must provide a first-rate support base for those setting out on their research careers. To this end, the University has made it a core objective to give its early career researchers the best possible support when it comes to gaining qualifications and participating in (international) networks. We place a strong emphasis on promoting female early career researchers and increasing the number of women professors.
Passau International Centre for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies (PICAIS)
With the Passau International Centre for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies (PICAIS), the University of Passau is creating a permanent and independent institution on campus that is particularly suited to supporting international networking, the initiation of large-scale interdisciplinary projects and the visibility of our research.
