We, the University of Konstanz, are a young reform and campus university with innovation and collaboration at its heart. We are one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence and proud to be a member of the European Reform University Alliance – ERUA.

Our motto is “creative.together”. Since our foundation in 1966 and the opening of our actual campus in 1972 we have strived for interdisciplinary dialogue and to continuously and critically question existing standards and norms in favour for progress. It is our strong belief that innovation and progress are best achieved when people with different backgrounds and ideas come together and collaborate in an environment that fosters and supports their potential.

As a university, we aim to provide such an environment for our students, our staff, and the public. Being part of the European University Initiative and ERUA is an integral part of our vision for the University’s future as an accessible space for higher education, innovation, and transfer that transcends borders – between nations and disciplines.
