German Research Institutions

Interdisciplinary thinking and a family atmosphere are writ large at the University of Konstanz. The campus, with its superb elevated setting on the Giessberg and picturesque outlook over Lake Constance, also reflects these qualities.
The University of Konstanz has been awarded funding under all three of the funding lines in the Federal and state governments’ Excellence Initiative since 2007.
