FAU Research Centers
Research Centers are central research institutions that have close links with the higher-level key research priorities at FAU and are involved in at least one collaborative project. Research Centers are limited to a duration of seven years and have the opportunity during this time to establish their research which may be extended as a Profile Center.
The FAU Research Center Embedded Systems Initiative has a pioneering role in fundamental research for future electronic embedded hardware and software systems. Its research activities include embedded AI, post-silicon technologies and open source hardware. As an incubator, FAU ESI promotes design automation and the design of new applications for these areas. FAU ESI’s innovative approaches to research have the potential to produce groundbreaking developments in these areas and to shape the future of the electronics and technology sectors.
The interdisciplinary work of the FAU Research Center for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg focuses on current questions regarding human rights in theory and in practice. In a regional context, the center investigates the human rights requirements for politics in Bavaria. FAU CHREN campaigns for the innovative development of international human rights protection while considering contemporary discourse and developments. The aim of FAU CHREN’s work is to strengthen the protection of human rights and to drive forward the universal implementation of these rights.

The FAU Research Center for Islam and Law in Europe (FAU EZIRE) conducts multidisciplinary research into Muslim life in the context of constitutional European states. It investigates how European legal systems react to Muslim life, and how Muslims’ perception of themselves and the autonomous organization of religion develop in this context. These questions are considered in a broader context encompassing societal developments in Europe and connections to developments outside Europe regarding law, religion, political and social change. EZIRE’s research considers the issues from a perspective of research into social sciences, law, Islamic studies and religious studies.

At FAU MoD, researchers from various FAU institutions, the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine and the ADA Lovelace Center from the Fraunhofer IIS work together to gain a better understanding of the mathematics of large and complex volumes of data. FAU MoD combines expertise and experience from the area of data science with applied mathematics, scientific computing and artificial intelligence in order to tackle the challenges posed by the wide scope of modern research and various innovative industrial sectors.
FAU MoD and the globally connected Nuremberg Metropolitan Region are making a significant contribution to modern research in the area of “Mathematics of Data”.
The goal of FAU NeW is to connect, strengthen and improve the focus of interdisciplinary work in the areas of materials, target areas, mechanisms, and bioanalysis. In addition to ongoing research projects and modules with close links to practical applications, the research center provides a structured graduate program as well as core facilities for mass spectrometry/formulation for life sciences.
