The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), the German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat, WR), and the Joint Science Conference in Bonn have just announced that Universität Hamburg has been granted 4 clusters of excellence. An outstanding success for the University: all 4 of its cluster applications have now been awarded excellence status. Exploring fundamental and topical scientific questions and conducting world-class research: clusters of excellence are interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research collaborations in which numerous scientists and scholars focus on especially relevant related topics. That Universität Hamburg was granted funding for 4 clusters of excellence is a major achievement in and of itself; more astounding is this success with regard to the fact that Universität Hamburg's applications were submitted as single institution applications and not completed within a university network. When the competition began, 195 applications were submitted to the DFG, of which only 88 advanced to the last round. 57 will be funded as clusters of excellence. In the next few days the DFG will inform the University of the amount of total funding.
