The University of Heidelberg is the oldest university in present-day Germany. In the course of its more than 630-year history, it has repeatedly renewed itself as one of the leading intellectual centres in Europe. The University sees itself as a research university with twelve faculties in the fields of natural sciences and mathematics, humanities and theology, law, economics and social sciences, and medicine.
Heidelberg chemists succeed in producing synthesis and complete characterisation for the first time.
The Research Station Geometry and Dynamics of Ruperto Carola welcomes four new Humboldt Research Fellows.
The Doctoral Convention of Heidelberg University was founded in 2015 after the state of Baden-Württemberg had established doctoral candidates as an independent status group with the right to vote in the university's governing bodies, including the Senate.
Extensive digital programme of the central alumni network of Heidelberg University. This year, the alumni initiative of Heidelberg University - Heidelberg Alumni International (HAI) - can look back over a quarter of a century of active alumni engagement in a large, worldwide network.
Research Prize for Social Market Economy of the Roman Herzog Institute goes to Heidelberg organisation theorist.
A rare genetic defect that affects the so-called ALG2 gene can cause serious metabolic diseases in humans. It does so through the defective formation of proteins and sugar molecules. Until now, its rareness and complexity made it difficult to study this congenital glycosylation disorder. A research team led by Joachim Wittbrodt and Dr Thomas Thumberger from the Centre for Organismal Studies (COS) of Heidelberg University has finally succeeded in introducing the underlying mutation in the ALG2 gene in a fish model, thus allowing the causes of these complex diseases to be studied at the molecular level.
University supports state-wide Action Week with an appeal to take advantage of vaccination opportunities.
New edition of research magazine RUPERTO CAROLA with articles by 24 Heidelberg academics. "It is easier to split an atom than to stamp out prejudice." This quote from Albert Einstein suggests the thematic focus UNITE & DIVIDE to which the latest issue of the research magazine RUPERTO CAROLA is dedicated.
The term Bose-Einstein condensate describes a state of matter in which atoms or elementary particles combine into a single quantum mechanical object during extreme cooling. Science does not yet fully understand exactly how these macroscopic states - beyond the confines of traditional physics - develop from a thermal atomic cloud in just a few milliseconds and when statistical equilibrium is reached, according to Georg Wolschin. Using a new theoretical model he developed, the Heidelberg University physicist has now succeeded in calculating the time-dependent formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate in sodium atoms.
International research prize goes to epidemiologist Joacim Rocklöv on proposal of Ruperto Carola.
Heidelberg researchers discover an enzyme that prevents the formation of multiple heads and axes in the freshwater polyp Hydra.
Heidelberg University geographers combine historical images and maps with current data. The glaciers of Nanga Parbat - one of the highest mountains in the world - have been shrinking slightly but continually since the 1930s.
