THE EXCELLENCE STRATEGY: STRENGTHENING CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH IN GERMANY AND HESSE – ALSO THANKS TO LOEWE RESEARCH FUNDING

The Excellence Strategy is an important agreement between the federal and state governments that aims to sustainably promote cutting-edge research and strengthen the international competitiveness of German universities - and thus also of Germany as a business location. It is the successor to the Excellence Initiative and is divided into two central funding lines: clusters of Excellence and Universities of Excellence.

The importance of LOEWE for the Excellence Strategy. As can be clearly seen on the following pages, the proportion of scientists who have already conducted research in LOEWE projects is high. Overall, the importance of the LOEWE program on the path to research excellence in Hesse cannot be overestimated.

The significance for Hesse. With the Excellence Strategy and successfully acquired clusters of Excellence, Hesse is becoming a central player in top-level research in Germany. The combination of innovative projects and strategic partnerships lays the foundation for forward-looking scientific development.
