Collaborative projects

The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences participates in (interdisciplinary) research and education through collaborative projects.

Cluster of Excellence

Several researchers from the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences take part in the Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change and Society” (CLICCS) at the University of Hamburg. This project has received funding from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) since 2019.

Coordinated Programmes (DFG-funded)

The DFG-funded collaborative programmes support supraregional collaboration in topical fields of work. Researchers of our faculty are involved in interdisciplinary research within research units (Forschungsgruppe), a Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg), An inter-university Research Training Group, a Collaborative Research Centre (Sonderforschungsbereich), a structured PhD program in Health Economics (Graduiertenkolleg) as well as two priority programmes (Schwerpunktprogramm). The Centre of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences (Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe) “Futures of Sustainability” is hosted at the faculty.

Research Training Groups

Support for young researchers takes place in a DFG-funded Research Training Group on “Collective Decision-Making”, the DFG-funded inter-university Research Training Group “Urban Future-Making: Professional agency across time and scale”, the DFG funded research training group at the Hamburg Center for Health Economics “Managerial and economic dimensions of health care quality” the European research training group GEM-STONES ("Globalisation, Europe and Multilateralism - Sophistication of the Transnational Order, Networks and European Strategies") and at the GIGA Doctoral Program. The doctoral degree program at the School of Integrated Climate System Sciences (SICSS) was created as a part of the Hamburg Cluster of Excellence Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction (CliSAP) with an interdisciplinary profile focused on climate expertise.
