Right from the beginning, the University of Ulm asserted its claim as a research university. Thanks to its interdisciplinary and cooperative working methods, the University has been able to establish numerous research concentrations and Collaborative Research Centres both in basic and applied research, achieving successful results. The research focusses on six main topics: haematology and oncology, aging/degeneration and regeneration, energy conversion and storage, quantum science and technology, cognitive systems and human-computer interaction, financial services and their mathematical methods. Worth pointing out is the opening up of a new interdisciplinary research arena towards bio quantum physics. Ulm University is located in the high-tech belt of Southwest of Germany, at the heart of the Science City Ulm. In this highly developed science park, universities, hospitals, research institutes and prestigious industrial companies work together. Successful cooperations with companies organized in public-private partnerships include the Daimler Research Institute for Vehicle Environment Perception at Ulm University and the Boehringer Ingelheim Ulm University BioCenter for research activities in biotechnology. This is an excellent basis for graduate and post-graduate education, making Ulm University particularly attractive for international students and scientific exchange programs.
