The Clusters of Excellence of the University of Münster
The federal and state support cutting-edge research at universities through the Excellence Strategy. The funding line 'Cluster of Excellence' specifically promotes internationally competitive research fields, strengthens networking and cooperation, and sharpens the profiles of universities. The two Clusters of Excellence established by the University of Münster unites outstanding scientists from several disciplines to jointly tackle complex research questions.
The Cluster of Excellence "Mathematics Münster: Dynamics - Geometry - Structure" within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science follows an integrative approach to address fundamental problems across different mathematical disciplines. The Cluster of Excellence "Religion and Politics", funded for the third time, involves some 140 researchers in the humanities and social sciences from 20 disciplines.
