The University of Hohenheim is internationally recognized as one of Europe’s leading centers for agricultural research and food sciences, while also being highly distinctive in the natural, economic, social, and communication sciences. This unique profile enables our researchers to focus on understanding complex interactions in a changing environment and on developing innovative solutions to pressing societal challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable resource use.
With its compact, green campus and strong research infrastructure, the University of Hohenheim offers an inspiring, interdisciplinary environment for its research community. We are particularly committed to supporting the next generation of leading researchers and providing them with the best conditions to grow, explore new directions, and shape the future of science and society.
With the Hohenheim NextGen Scientists Symposium we invite outstanding early career researchers (up to four years after PhD completion) to discover the University of Hohenheim as a potential place to develop their next research steps and to advance their careers. Chaired by experts in the field, the event provides a forum for presenting current research ideas in the following areas and for exploring potential collaborations:
- Microbiome Research in Livestock and Agri-Food Systems (Chairs: Prof. Dr. Amélia Camarinha Silva and Prof. Dr. Jana Seifert)
- Diversity and Resilience Across Scales in Natural and Agro-Ecosystems (Chairs: Prof. Dr. Karl Schmid and Prof. Dr. Andreas Schweiger)
- Data-Driven Transformation of Sustainable Agri-Food Systems (Chairs: Prof. Dr. Thomas Dimpfl and Prof. Dr. Christine Wieck)
- Food, Nutrition & Health (Chairs: Prof. Dr. Mario Jekle and Prof. Dr. Barbara Lieder)

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
