Research at JLU

As a comprehensive university, Justus Liebig University Giessen encompasses all fundamental scientific disciplines in the humanities, social and cultural sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, agricultural sciences as well as veterinary and human medicine. It conducts internationally visible top-level research in several areas, which has been particularly evident since 2006 through its successes in the Excellence Initiative and Excellence Strategy. These successes are based on outstanding research achievements across the breadth of the university, successful research profile development in recent years, the targeted expansion of research infrastructures and, in particular, systematic support services for early career researchers.
