CIVIS Highlights

20 Απριλίου 2026

 The University of Tübingen stays in the group of 15 universities or university alliances which are to receive centralized funding for seven years. The decision was recently announced by the Excellence Commission, a panel of academics along with representatives of Germany’s federal and state governments.

![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/exu-crowd2-full.jpg)Jubilation at Tübingen’s renewed success / © Alexander Ries\_University of TübingenThe government support would enable the University to build on its achievements and continue to develop in line with the goals it has set itself within the framework of the Excellence Strategy, considers Professor Dr. Karla Pollman, Tübingen President.

The University plans to use the Excellence funds to pursue five goals:

- *Advance Excellence in Research and Education Researchers* will continue to receive support to conduct research and research-based teaching at the highest level.
- *Nurture a Collaborative and Inclusive University Environment Support for first-generation academics* will be incorporated into the diversity strategy.
- *Sustain ChangeAbility Mindful of the value of free academic research* - the University is set to continue its Exploration funds for projects in the humanities and social sciences, with a focus on even deeper collaboration between disciplines.
- *Enhance Global Awareness and International Connectivity -* understanding global challenges and interrelationships remains one of the University’s goals.
- *Expand Societal Engagement, Innovation, and Co-Creation* - the University plans to expand existing interactive formats to include those that go beyond pure science communication.

> *Thanks to our success in the Excellence Strategy, we can now make the joint effort to ensure that the University of Tübingen becomes even stronger and more prominent in future-oriented research, excellent teaching, and societal engagement. Environmental changes, geopolitical shifts, and technological progress are transforming the world and the University is changing, too. The University, as a place of research, has a broader societal responsibility,*

Pollmann said, stressing that the University of Tübingen would continue to seek answers to the questions of our time through excellent, interdisciplinary research.

The seven-year funding period begins in 2027. The amount of annual funding is to be announced later this year.
