As an innovative full-spectrum university founded on diversity with an outward-looking, international perspective, FAU is committed to promoting mutual understanding between cultures and ways of life. It promotes commitment, constructive input and cooperative networking within the University and with external partners such as companies, research institutes and educational and cultural institutions on a regional, national and international level.
The five central pathways of FAU’s knowledge and technology transfer strategy are people, training, partnerships, patents and licenses, and spin-offs. By communicating knowledge professionally, proactively and passionately, FAU makes science accessible and informs society. It maintains a thriving and international alumni network of former students and professors, friends and supporters – across generations and disciplines.
