Excellence Strategy: Opportunities and Prospects in the Excellence Clusters Program

In May, 70 Excellence Clusters were selected as centers of cutting-edge research in Germany. In the coming years, these clusters will fill numerous positions — from doctoral researcher posts to group leader roles and professorships — in an international competition. At the same time, Excellence Clusters offer a wide range of collaboration opportunities for researchers in Germany and abroad.
