As a specialist in Einstein field equations, the mathematician Gustav Holzegel studies physical theories on the properties of the universe. He has, for instance, managed to find solutions to the mathematical equations in the general theory of relativity which explain the stability of black holes.

With its university and non-university research institutes, the University of Tübingen already has a very broadly established portfolio in educational science with a focus on the intersection of educational practice and research. Murayama’s appointment as a Humboldt Professor aims to expand educational research yet further and intensify its interdisciplinary approach.

At the University of Cologne, Bart Thomma is to continue his research on soil organisms and their interactions with plants. He is expected to head a new Centre for Microbial Interactomics that is due to be established and within which he will focus on evolutionary microbiology. He will also cooperate with human biologists. After all, if we understand more about the genetics and interactions of microorganisms in the soil, this could be of use to medicine, too – in improving antibiotics, for instance.

With research institutes such as PIK (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research) and GFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences), Potsdam already provides a unique research infrastructure for climate and environmental topics. Here, Thorsten Wagener is set to play key role as a Humboldt Professor. The University of Potsdam is thus striving to join the international vanguard of water research. It is planning a new Potsdam Research Cluster for Water, Environment and Society as a global hub for research, innovation and teaching to secure water supplies under changing (climatic) conditions.
