Dear Readers,

The University of Bonn has come out right on top once again, retaining its crown as Germany’s most successful University of Excellence by securing eight Clusters of Excellence—more than any other university in the country.

This result makes us extraordinarily proud. More importantly, however, it shows what can be done when bright minds pursue common goals with passion and perseverance.
After all, excellence is not just a matter of numbers or titles: it comes down to people—to their ideas, their curiosity and their dedication. It is the researchers, students, staff and partners that, every single day, make the University of Bonn a unique and special place to be.

And, just like in the past, we will be introducing a few of these people to you in this issue of forsch. They will provide insights into their research, report on some of their new projects and show just how diverse and vibrant our University is and how it spans discipline boundaries.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue.

The forsch editorial team
