The Research Clusters are officially recognized groupings of researchers whose research competence is applied to a shared region, field, or theme, or who are engaged in a single, multi-project collaboration.  The quality-assured research publications of the involved staff as a whole make up a sizable body of knowledge, and each member of the Cluster has the research experience necessary to supervise postgraduate students who are writing theses in the researcher’s area of expertise.

We support multidisciplinary approaches to study and research. Our researchers from many fields work together to address the major issues that society faces on a national and international level. In order to build centres of innovative research excellence and make the best use of research grants and findings, the university identifies her unique research competencies and platforms.
