Established in 1386, Heidelberg University is Germany’s oldest university and one of Europe’s most research-intensive institutions. Its successes in the Excellence Competitions of the German federal and state governments and in internationally recognised rankings substantiate the leading role of Heidelberg University in the academic, scientific and research landscape. The university is committed to advancing exceptional individual disciplines, promoting dialogue beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, and turning research findings to good use for society and the economy. In this endeavour, it also relies on strong partners outside the university.
