Welcome to our scientific world that includes everything from the smallest particle to the largest galaxies. Feel free to join our endless journey of knowledge.

Education and research are our contribution to reach sustainable development. We address some of the most crucial challenges of our lifetime - such as climate change, biodiversity and the marine environment. Our research and education spans vast areas and we are particularly strong in life sciences, marine sciences, environmental and climate research.
Science is everywhere, and includes us all. We take pride in our students and researchers' efforts, as well as in our unique research and educational environments
