Research Priority Areas

True to its guiding principle of "science for society", Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) strives to gain new insights in research areas that are relevant to the future.

An extensive choice of degree programs is available to students. In addition to classical disciplines such as law, economics, various philologies, medicine, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, many new degree programs have been introduced. Among the most recent examples are Nanostructure Technology, Functional Materials, Games Engineering, Modern China, Digital Humanities, Human-Computer Interaction, and Museology – to name a few.

The university’s distinct profile is shaped by six interdisciplinary Research Priority Areas:

Molecules, Cells and Organisms
Molecular Chemistry, New Materials and Quantum Effects
Digitality, Data Science and Algorithms
Global Challenges
Cultural Spheres
Institutions, Norms and Behavior
