Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University of Bonn
The University of Bonn is one of the 11 German universities of excellence and the only university with eight clusters of excellence. The University of Bonn stands for world-renowned science at the highest level. For 200 years, it has been shaped by outstanding scientific personalities, research-led studies, the international flair of the German city of the United Nations, a dynamic, globally networked scientific region and, last but not least, the livable Rhineland in the heart of Europe.
With around 31,300 students, 6,700 doctoral candidates, almost 700 professorships and ca. 5,500 employees, the University of Bonn is one of the largest and strongest research universities in Germany. Its seven faculties offer a wide range of subjects, from agricultural sciences to dentistry, with numerous subjects occupying a leading position in international competition. In addition to strong disciplines, six interdisciplinary ‘Transdisciplinary Research Areas’ (TRA) also form spaces for exploration and innovation in which key scientific, technological and social challenges are addressed.
Internationalisation is a central element of the overall orientation and development planning of the University of Bonn. The University has maintained good contacts with numerous universities and research institutions in India for many years. The thematic focus of the diverse collaborations lies primarily in the fields of medicine and life sciences, agricultural, plant and nutritional sciences, microbiology and various fields of the humanities and social sciences.
