FAU Profile Center Solar (FAU Solar)
The FAU Profile Center Solar researches into strategies to overcome the limitations of converting solar energy into electricity and is accelerating the development of semiconductors that can be printed at low temperatures. The aim is to produce cheap, green solar electricity at a large scale and at the highest output without damaging the environment. The Profile Center Solar pursues a holistic optimization strategy based on a digital model of the entire value chain. FAU Solar combines top-level research in engineering, science, data science and business and economics. FAU Solar’s research is an important component of strategic development at FAU and it is closely linked to other key research priorities.

FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.Quantum Technologies (FAU LMQ)
The scientific and technological development of our society is unimaginable without photonics and electronics, which form the backbone of our current information technology. In recent years, the focus at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has turned to the joint consideration of light and matter, which will make many new phenomena and technologies comprehensible and thus form the basis for the key technologies of the 21st century. This requires substantial efforts in fundamental as well as applied research, which will be consolidated in the new FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.Quantum Technologies.

FAU Profile Center Immunomedicine (FAU I-MED)
The FAU Profile Center Immunomedicine is primarily concerned with consolidating cross-faculty immunological research in Erlangen. Its spectrum ranges from basic research to translational research and clinical immunological studies. FAU I-MED investigates the fundamental mechanisms and dysfunctions of the immune system and develops personalized methods for the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, cancer and infectious diseases. Its aim is to use cutting-edge cellular, molecular and imaging processes in conjunction with studies based on animal experimentation and examinations carried out on human subjects to unravel immune reactions in all their complexity and to make these findings available for clinical medicine.

Complaints team for cases of discrimination, harassment and sexual harassment
Complaints regarding discrimination, harassment and sexual harassment can be submitted to the relevant complaints team.
Further information on the complaints procedure
Richtlinie zur Prävention und zum Umgang mit Fällen von Diskriminierung, Belästigung und sexueller Belästigung
The guidelines are based on the General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG). However, as this only applies to members of staff at FAU and UKER, the guidelines specifically include all students and external parties (who are associated with either FAU or UKER). At the same time, these guidelines set out transparent rules governing employees’ rights to file a complaint at FAU pursuant to Section 13 AGG.
Student groups and initiatives
There are over 100 student groups and initiatives at FAU. They cover a wide range of areas, making them the ideal starting point for all students who want to get involved – be it in politics, technology, culture or social issues.
A list of student groups and initiatives is available on the Students’ Representatives’ website.
Student Records Office
FAU’s Student Records Office is responsible for enrolment, de-registration and changes of subjects/degree programmes. It is also the first point of contact for all questions on re-registration (Rückmeldung) and leave (Beurlaubung). The Student Records Office is based in Erlangen in Halbmondstraße 6-8, Room 0.034.
Maternity protection provisions as applicable to pregnant and breast-feeding students
Since the beginning of 2018, maternity protection provisions apply to students if the University lays down binding rules for the time, place and form of a teaching unit or if the students are carrying out an internship or practical course as a compulsory part of their degree programme.
Please refer to the FAU family service for details of what exactly this means for you as a pregnant or breast-feeding student.
