Exzellenzstrategie: Great success for the university
Huge success for the University of Oldenburg: All three high class research projects (Hearing Science: Hearing4all; Animal navigation science: NaviSense; Marine Science: Ocean Floor) that have applied as Exzellenzcluster in the Exzellenzstrategie have been approved and will be funded for seven years. This also fulfills the precondition for a possible funding as Exzellenzuniversität from 2027 onwards. The universities of Bremen and Oldenburg have devided to join forces and apply for the latter funding together. More information can be found on the website of the university.
