Central Institutions

Within the framework of the institutional strategy the university has set up various central scientific institutions. These institutions provide researchers of various disciplines with technical and networking infrastructures of the highest quality as well as excellent services.

With the platforms Personalised Medicine, Medical Technology and Environmental Systems Analytics networks between basic and application-oriented research are supported in the life and natural sciences. This combination of university and non-university research offers the possibility to further intensify the exchange of information. The networking of application-oriented research in the humanities and social sciences is supported by the broad-based fourth platform of Global Encounters.

In the core facilities - Quantitative Biology Center (QBiC) for life sciences, Light-Matter Interaction, Sensors & Analytics (LISA+) for the material sciences and the Digital Humanities Center for Social Sciences and Humanities - key components of the research infrastructure are brought together . The aim is to coordinate the work with the various highly complex technical devices in different, also non-university, research facilities, thereby generating synergies in research, training and knowledge transfer through more efficient use.

The integration of Industry-on-Campus Professorships into the existing university structures began with the initiative of excellence. Within this framework, new cooperation projects with industry are being created at the interface between basic research and application orientation. This is an excellent opportunity for the University of Tübingen to explore new paths for industrial partnerships and to open up new perspectives for application-inspired research.
