More information about the Programme
Clusters of Excellence (COE) are the first of three pillars of the excellent=austria funding initiative to strengthen Austria’s position as a top location for research within the international scientific community.
COEs enable groups of researchers at Austrian research institutions to achieve outstanding cooperative research results in one area or interdisciplinarily and to firmly establish this research area in Austria in the long term at a top international level. COEs thus play a central role in shaping and strengthening core research areas at the participating research institutions.
COEs provide young researchers with outstanding research training, career development, and research-based education to create optimal conditions for the next generation of researchers to be competitive on the international level. COEs are committed to equal opportunities and diversity in all its activities. COEs have an impact beyond the realm of science and actively pursue the exchange of knowledge and technology through cooperation with social and/or economic partners. Thus, to achieve the programme’s objectives, synergies should be developed between world-class research, research-based education, the promotion of young researchers, (inter-) national networks, and the transfer of knowledge.
