Research

At the level of research, the Faculty of Philosophy wants to participate self-confidently in the profiling of new cross-university research foci and to be perceived more strongly than has been apparent so far as the starting point or hinge point of university-wide profile-building processes - on the one hand, this concerns participation in the development of new cross-university research foci of the university (especially in connection with Forschungszentrum Gotha as well as in connection with the research on spatialisation processes conducted at several seminars). On the other hand, the faculty sees particular potential in the establishment of 'emerging fields' of research at the University of Erfurt, not least due to its own promotion of young researchers.
