Five TU9 Universities successful as Universities of Excellence

TU9 German Universities of Technology

    TU9 Universities have anew demonstrated their strength in cutting-edge research with their successes in the second funding line of the Excellence Strategy

    Five of the eleven Universities of Excellence are TU9 Universities. In the second funding line of the Excellence Strategy, decisions have been made. The Federal Minister of Education and Research, Anja Karliczek, announced the results at today's press conference in Bonn.
    The successful TU9 Universities are RWTH Aachen University, Technische Universität Dres-den, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Technische Universität Berlin (as part of the Berlin University Alliance) and Technical University of Munich being a new member.

    Excellent TU9 Universities and their concepts for the future:

    RWTH Aachen University
    The Integrated Interdisciplinary University of Science and Technoloy. Knowledge. Impact. Networks

    Technische Universität Berlin (part of the Berlin University Alliance):
    Crossing Boundaries toward an Integrated Research Environment

    Technical University of Dresden:
    TUD 2028: Synergy and beyond

    Karlsruhe Institute of Technology:
    The Research University in the Helmholtz Association | Living the Change

    Technical University of Munich:
    TUM. THE ENTREPRENEURIAL UNIVERSITY - Innovation by Talents, Excellence, and Responsibility

    "We congratulate all universities that were successful today and are particularly pleased that five TU9 Universities are among them," said TU9 President Wolfram Ressel. "TU9 Universities are once again demonstrating that they know how to combine internationally competitive cutting-edge research with innovative application in a forward-looking manner. They are a key element of the German science and innovation landscape. We hope that all the other applicants who have submitted outstanding proposals will also successfully keep advancing their innovative ideas".
    After the great success in the Excellence Cluster Competition in autumn 2018, in which 21 Excellence Clusters (out of 57) were approved at TU9 Universities (or with their participation), eight TU9 Universities were entitled to apply for the status of Excellence Universities. As of today, five of them can call themselves Universities of Excellence.

    Excellence Strategy
    The Federal and State Governments together provide 148 million euros annually for the elev-en universities of excellence. This is planned as a permanent Federal funding. Every seven years, the funded universities must undergo an evaluation and again acquire at least two or (as a group) three Clusters of Excellence in order to continue to receive funding.
    The aim of the Excellence Strategy is to strengthen Germany’s position as an outstanding place for research in the long term and further improve its international competitiveness. It contin-ues the development of German universities successfully begun with the Excellence Initiative by supporting research of the highest standard, enhancing research profiles, and facilitating cooperation in the research system.
