Interdisciplinary Research Centers

 

Excellent, interdisciplinary research achievements at JLU are supported by six interdisciplinary research centers and brought together in special infrastructure facilities such as the Seltersberg Biomedical Research Center. To support its top research areas in particular, the university also relies on the systematic establishment of core facilities that bundle scientific equipment and infrastructures in terms of space and organization and make them available across departments. As part of pilot projects, the High Performance Computing Core Facility, the Central Laboratory Animal Facility and the Bender Institute of Neuroimaging were established as core facilities.

 

The Interdisciplinary Center for 3Rs in Animal Research (ICAR3R) serves 3R research and teaching as well as further networking.

ICAR3R

The Giessen Center for East European Studies (GiZo) aims to describe, analyze and evaluate Eastern Europe in the context of Europe as a whole.

GiZo

The Center for Materials Science (ZfM) bundles materials science research and serves to qualify young scientists.

ZfM

 

The Center for International Development and Environmental Research (ZEU) conducts research on fundamental development and environmental policy issues.

ZEU

The Center for Sustainable Food Systems (ZNE) investigates the design and future transition to more sustainable food systems.

ZNE

 

The Center for Media and Interactivity (ZMI) conducts application-oriented and practical basic research on media-related issues.

ZMI

The Research Centre for the Study of Culture (RCSC) serves as a central platform for collaborative projects in cultural studies.
