Kiel University: Kiel sharpens its profile in the marine sciences
Kiel University is bundling its research on ocean, climate and coast, continuing the maritime focus of the Kiel research hub.
Kiel University (Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel, CAU) is the oldest and largest university in Schleswig-Holstein and a central pillar of Kiel as a research location. Together with GEOMAR and other institutions, the university bundles its research on ocean, climate and coast. The maritime focus shapes teaching and research and attracts students and researchers from Germany and abroad. The city sees the close interlinking of university, research institutes and the maritime economy as an important advantage for the state capital.
