A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship will start in February 2026 in the group of Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Nikolopoulos, experimental physicist at Universität Hamburg—University of Excellence. Funding of around 200,000 euros will be provided for the two-year research project neutrinoSPHERE.

Two research groups from the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" can look forward to receiving support for their working groups. The teams led by cluster spokesperson Prof. Francesca Calegari and Prof. Carmen Herrmann will receive funding to train two PhD students as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie...

It is quite common for research equipment to end up in display cases and exhibition rooms: discarded prototypes, particularly attractive particle detectors or innovative new developments help to explain science and are technological witnesses to the times. However, it is rather rare for exhibits to be dusted off and moved...

Do we bathe in dark matter? How do we tap into the mysteries of a 5,000-year-old letter? Is climate protection a private matter or a national goal? And does the language I use shape my identity? At "Science on Tap", researchers from the University of Hamburg and DESY answer fascinating and urgent questions.

On 22 May 2025, the German Research Foundation (DFG) endorsed the tremendous work carried out in the University of Hamburg’s clusters of excellence, announcing that all four projects would continue to receive funding during the next funding period. The research alliances cover a range of topics, from astronomy to the...
