Do you want to realise your business idea – but don't know how? Our ZENTRIA additional study programme teaches you everything you need to know to found a start-up – practical, understandable and perfect for students of all disciplines.
At ZENTRIA, you will work with experienced industry partners, learn how to recognise new trends at an early stage and even take a trip to a highly start-up-oriented foreign country.
And if you decide to found a company and already have an existing business idea, our Service Centre Research and Technology Transfer (SFT) is there to support you. It supports students, researchers, employees and alumni throughout the entire process – straightforwardly and free of charge.
For us, science communication is part of transfer – we make research tangible and visible.
For the public, this means that we open our doors and offer a wide range of hands-on activities for young and old. With their help, we show in an understandable and entertaining way how science works and what is being researched at JMU.
For researchers, this means that we support them in communicating research in an appealing way – and motivate them to become active in science communication themselves.
At JMU, teaching and transfer are inextricably linked: Students and researchers not only receive an excellent education, but also the opportunity to put their ideas, skills and projects into practice.
There are numerous contact points for this, for example:
- The Centre for Teaching and Learning (ZBL) bundles programmes for the further development of studies and teaching.
- The Career Centre supports students entering professional life – with advice, qualification offers and help with career planning.
- The Professional School of Education (PSE) is the central point of contact at the University of Würzburg for all questions and concerns relating to teacher training programmes.
- The LehrLernGarten offers students, teachers and school classes the opportunity to try out new teaching and learning formats.
- The MIND Center promotes practical research and teacher training in the natural sciences – as well as interactive educational programmes for pupils.
Many of our graduates work in companies and institutions that are looking for new ideas – they stay connected to each other and to JMU through our JMU alumni network.
This creates a strong community that passes on knowledge, experience and contacts. Students benefit from mentoring and practical insights, alumni from new impulses from research.

At the University of Würzburg, we are involved in health research, the development of new technologies, sustainability and the promotion of social participation.
There are numerous contact points for this, for example:
- A central hub for the transfer to and from the humanities into society is the Human Dynamics Centre (HDC) – an interdisciplinary forum that brings together researchers and social stakeholders.
- Our sustainability laboratory WueLAB links science and practice in the field of sustainability.
- CAIDAS (Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) is an interdisciplinary research platform for AI and data science that develops technological foundations and transfers them to other disciplines.
- The Centre for Philology and Digitality "Kallimachos" (ZPD) combines humanities and computer science to promote digitally supported research for philology.
