OTH Regensburg in the top 20 of the DFG Funding Atlas for the first time

Where in Germany is a particularly large amount of research being carried out with public funding? The DFG Funding Atlas 2024 provides answers to these and many other questions.

In the tenth edition of its standard work, which has been published every three years since 1997, the German Research Foundation (DFG) presents extensive key figures on publicly funded research in Germany. In its own ranking of universities of applied sciences, which is included in the Funding Atlas for the second time, OTH Regensburg is also represented in the top 20 for the first time in 14th place. According to the DFG, the university received a total of 1.1 million euros in DFG funding between 2020 and 2022. Direct R&D project funding from the federal government in the years 2020 to 2022 totalled 16.8 million euros. Most of this funding went to the area of energy research and energy technologies.

Statistical data on the distribution of funding in the years 2020-2022

The Funding Atlas 2024 provides statistical data on the distribution of funding from the DFG - and in some cases also from the federal government and the European Union (Horizon Europe) - in the years 2020-2022. At https://foerderatlas.dfg.de/ it offers interactive analyses of key figures on publicly funded research in Germany, which illustrate the research profile of universities and non-university institutions, but also of locations and regions.
