Research at Europa-Universität Flensburg focuses on education, interdisciplinary European studies and interdisciplinary sustainability and transformation research.
As a complement to individual research work, Europa-Universität Flensburg is strongly committed to promoting research networks on and beyond its campus community. The university’s designated research centers support this goal, driving scholarly exchange and collaboration along the lines of its research priorities.
In the area of knowledge transfer, we want to make research at the EUF and its results accessible to both society and companies. At the same time, knowledge transfer also enables individual participation in selected research projects (citizen science).
