Geodesy and Geoinformatics: Top ranking in the current DFG Funding Atlas

Stunning success: In the current funding atlas of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG, Leibniz University''s Geodesy and Geoinformatics (G&G) once again takes first place. With a funding volume of € 5.6 Mio., we are clearly ahead of the universities of Bonn (€ 3.8 Mio.) and Kiel (€ 3.7 Mio.). Among others, a Collaborative Research Centre and two Research Training Groups contribute significantly to this success.

The LUH G&G performance is to be valued all the higher, as there is no geophysics programme in Hannover.
