Major projects at the Gewi Faculty
The innovative and open research culture at the Faculty is a breeding ground for cutting-edge research. Outstanding research projects within the framework of international calls for proposals (e.g. ERC grants) are just as much at home here as internationally networked research projects, so-called collaborative projects. These bring together different disciplines and institutions and utilize the added value of heterogeneity and diversity - because many complex issues can only be solved jointly!
Research is currently being conducted in the following third-party funded large-scale projects under the leadership or with the participation of academics from the Faculty of Humanities:
