List of DFG funding from the University of Stuttgart
This subpage contains a list - in some cases with a supplementary description - of the research and research funding active at the University of Stuttgart by the German Research Foundation (DFG), a self-governing institution for the promotion of science and research in the Federal Republic of Germany as of December 2017 (funding budget 2016: just under 3 billion euros).
Excellence Initiative
As part of the second and third funding round of the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state governments, the University of Stuttgart has been offering a. the Cluster of Excellence Simulation Technology (EXC 310 SimTech) funded. The research network for simulation technology covers a wide range of applications from product development and environmental issues to complex problems in biomechanics. The Cluster of Excellence concentrates on the six methodological areas of molecular dynamics, modern mechanics of multi-scale and multi-field problems, numerical mathematics, system analysis, data management and interactive visualization. The application to continue for a further five years was approved on June 15, 2012.
Graduate colleges and schools
DFG graduate college at the University of Stuttgart
- GRK 1838 Spectral Theory and Dynamics of Quantum Systems
- GRK 2160 Technologies for Drop Interactions (DROPIT)

DFG graduate schools at the University of Stuttgart
- GSC 262 Graduate School Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (GSaME) (as part of the excellence initiative; the focus here is on intelligent production and manufacturing technologies. The aim of the scientists is highly efficient, versatile factories and new concepts in production. In addition to three faculties of the university are the Fraunhofer institutes for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) as well as for Labor Management and Organization (IAO). A learning factory is available for the graduate school's scientific work - consisting of a digital model factory and a physical production system.)
- Graduate School Simulation Technology (SimTech) (as part of the SimTech Cluster of Excellence)
