Structures and figures
The Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Dean's Office carry out a variety of scientific tasks.
The 16 institutes, together with strong research partners in the region, provide scientifically excellent research and teaching. The foundation for this is ensured by around 50 professorships and 650 employees in scientific, technical, technical and administrative services.
Attractive teaching matches excellent research: Over 3,100 students are presently enrolled in a wide range of diverse and interdisciplinary degree programmes. Around 80 doctoral students graduate every year.
Aims and mission statemant
Keeping it with Leibniz's ‘theoria cum praxi’, we encourage experimental versatility in research and teaching, thus opening up new ways of tackling promising aspects of life sciences, earth sciences and materials science. Our further development is aligned with the goals and values of Leibniz Universität. In essence, we stand for:
- national and international established reputation
- trusted and effective partnership
- public good though our research
- synergies through interaction and potential-orientation
Curiosity-driven research
Our interdisciplinary research areas include drug research, biomedical research and technology, energy and new materials, Earth surface processes and georesources, and applied plant sciences and nutrition. These areas of cooperation define the faculty's strategic direction in teaching and research and set the stage for more outstanding research.
Our thematic areas of specialisation are:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Science education
- Earth system sciences
- Innovation sciences, entrepreneurship and geography
- Food and nutritional sciences
Cutting-edge research
Researchers in the early career phase expand their professional and interdisciplinary competences, develop new methods and implement complex research projects. Networking within the national and international research community and the presentation of scientific achievements to society are more important than ever.
The Faculty of Natural Sciences unites talented individuals of all levels of experience who stand out for their exceptional achievements. We recruite, retent, recognise potentials.
Prominent projects
Research infrastructure: technology and network
Traditionally, device-related research infrastructure spreads across various institutes and campuses. New technologies with short-term innovation cycles and high acquisition costs require a different approach. We know that shared resources are most sustainable, efficient and economically utilised. Therefore, the research infrastructure of the Faculty of Natural Sciences is organised in a core facility: CoreNAT. Equipment and specialised knowledge are available for joint use across the Faculty. The platform ensures transparent access to first-class equipment and offers points of contact for cooperative research projects – this reflects our understanding of interdisciplinary top-class research.
CoreNAT creates links with real benefits.
