Our Research in Frankfurt

Research is an integral part of our Institutes Mission. We do research here in Frankfurt and we are connected with researchers all over the world.
Our research areas are broad, we cover a wide variety of subjects, also in cooperation with other universities, research institutions and commercial industries both locally and worldwide.

Key indicators of research activity, such as publications, research grant awards, postgraduate research degree awards and knowledge transfer activities confirm our growing ability to undertake and deliver top class research in a broad array of
subject areas.
