The German research landscape

Overview of university and regional profiles

German research is as diverse as science itself. With the aid of an interactive map and individual university views, the Funding Atlas 2018 shows the principal areas of research at German universities and what kind of research is being conducted in Germany’s different regions.

Since 2006, the Funding Atlas has presented a detailed picture of the profiles of German universities and regions. Under ‘University views’, the new edition also presents profile views for over 80 institutions showing each university’s individual DFG profile. These show the scope of DFG awards by research area. The DFG profile is supplemented by a representation of the university’s most frequent partner countries in EU-funded network projects.

The new interactive map provides a customisable view of the research profiles of Germany’s federal states and regions. You can create your own personal view of research funding in Germany using five third-party funding themes.

The new representations of the data provide an even clearer picture of the subject and funding areas that are particularly strong in a given university or region.
