Last edited on 24 Oct 2024
TU Clausthal is the most significant factor in the region’s economy and its largest employer. There is close collaboration between the academic and private sectors, facilitating the journey from fundamental research to real-life applications. And the overarching theme across all this work is the circular economy. In comprehensively pursuing the principle of a resource-efficient, regenerative economic order, TU Clausthal is taking responsibility for the future. With climate change and digitalization under way, it aims to support the establishment of a sustainable society.
TU Clausthal’s degree programs can often be found in the top tier of the CHE ranking. With approximately 40% of its students from outside Germany, representing more than 100 different countries, TU Clausthal is the epitome of internationalism. Alongside this cosmopolitanism, the cornerstones of the university’s vision for the future comprise a pronounced focus on practical application, outstanding levels of attentive support for students, and the involvement of broader society. TU Clausthal is divided into three faculties, 35 institutes, and six interdisciplinary research centers. Apart from its main location in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, the university has two additional sites, namely its Energy Campus in Goslar and the Drilling Simulator Celle – German Center for High Performance Drilling Technology and Automation. The university has organized the totality of its research activities into four areas:
- Sustainable Energy Systems
- Raw-Materials Supply and Resource Efficiency
- New Materials and Processes for Competitive Products
- Digitalization for a Sustainable Society
Under the umbrella of the circular economy, interdisciplinary and closely dovetailed study is engaged in within and across the research areas. The six research centers at TU Clausthal provide an ideal platform for this in practice. The research areas and the focused, consistent work on their continuous strategic development form the basis of our university’s outstanding visibility on the national and international stage.
