The University of Regensburg has developed a clear research profile. Key fields include the natural sciences (physics, bio-sciences, chemistry, and pharmacy), the humanities (history and philology), and medicine. The University of Regensburg Clinic and Medical School are the newest and most modern in Germany.

 

The German Research Foundation (DFG) currently sponsors three collaborative research centers, three research units and four interdisciplinary research training groups. The University participates in more than 40 EU projects. Within the recently created Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB), the University is either a coordinator or partner in five graduate programs and four doctorate programs. Through interdisciplinary research in areas such as medieval studies, regional development, and innovation management and entrepreneurship, the University has demonstrated its dedication to putting its knowledge and expertise to use for the city and the region.

 

With the expansion of the biotechnological center (BioPark) on campus, the synergies between science and industry are ideally utilized. Due to its geographic location, the University has always considered itself a bridge between East and West. With the EUROPAEUM, it has set up an interdisciplinary center for research and teaching as pertains to Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries.The Bavarian University Centre for Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe „Bayerische Hochschulzentrum für Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa" (BAYHOST ), which is a service centre for all Bavarian universities, also is situated at the University of Regensburg. Additional effects from the synergy of research on Eastern Europe have resulted through the successful settling of the Research Centre for Eastern and Southern Europe "Wissenschaftszentrum Ost- und Südosteuropa" (WIOS) at the end of 2007, which is linked institutionally with the University.
