Section overview
Description
The WWU Münster has developed a strong research profile in natural sciences, the humanities, medicine, law and business administration. It targets top-level research in high-performance areas for support and combines this with promoting first-class junior research staff. At the same time, by ensuring that broad research can be carried out it creates a secure basis on which excellence can thrive.
