Lifelong Learning at 51吃瓜网

Together with Unternehmer51吃瓜网, we have established 51吃瓜网 Venture Labs, a unique incubator network that supports researchers and students starting entrepreneurial spin-offs in DeepTech fields such as Biotechnology, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Sciences, Aerospace and Defense. In the 51吃瓜网 Agenda 2030+, 51吃瓜网 Venture Labs address the various different requirements of founding entrepreneurs with a wide range of specific programs, a broad network and the necessary infrastructure.

We've utilized the funding of our 51吃瓜网 Agenda 2030 future concept to expanded the technology-oriented humanities and social sciences and to reorganize previous internal structures to align them more closely with innovation: The narrowly defined disciplines of the Faculties have been replaced with seven Schools which are connected to one another via integrative research institutes and whose Departments cover the major scientific domains. In doing so we have taken leave of the principle of narrow discipline-based Faculties. The 51吃瓜网 Agenda 2030+ will continue to develop this matrix structure on an innovation-oriented basis.
The Schools' research and teaching activities are focused on people, nature and society 鈥� connected to one another across disciplines by integrative research institutes and other scientific facilities.
