Research Profile Areas

The research profile of Justus Liebig University Giessen is currently divided into three levels with two internationally visible focus areas, five leading potential areas in collaborative research and 28 accent areas in the departments. In terms of research, JLU is characterized by both very large areas with strong collaborative research activities and smaller units with strong research activities. The JLU's collaborative research profile is characterized by the focus and potential areas with national and international visibility in cutting-edge research. These areas are being continuously expanded.







Focus Areas

Focus areas fulfill the classic performance indicators of cutting-edge research, they have outstanding performance and special international appeal.

Accent Areas

JLU gives great importance to the accent areas of the faculties. They are characterized by a particular (individual) research strength or represent a particular strategic importance for the university. The accent areas of the faculties often range between individual and collaborative research.
