CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter
The cluster focuses on questions such as “What makes atoms move the way they do?” and “How does this create new structures with special functionalities?”
Universität Hamburg in the Excellence Strategy
Universität Hamburg has achieved extraordinary success in the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments, a competition for top-level university research funding in Germany: We were granted funding for four clusters of excellence, and have also been selected as one of eleven German universities to be awarded the status of University of Excellence for our “Flagship University” concept.
This website provides all the information on Universität Hamburg in the Excellence Strategy.
