Research

At the University of Kassel, scholars, scientists and students confront the big questions of our future – from the effects of globalisation, to managing climate change and sustainable economic systems, to developing new materials and technical systems. The aim here is to develop, test and implement ideas – even when these ideas haven't yet made it to the mainstream. This often calls for an innovative combination of basic research and practical applications as well as interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.
