Intelligent systems to benefit society.

Visionary since 1829: The University of Stuttgart stands for exceptional, world-acclaimed research and first-class teaching in one of Europe’s most vibrant industrial areas. The university is a reliable employer, partner for technology transfer, and focuses on interdisciplinarity.
The University of Stuttgart is one of the leading technically oriented universities in Germany with global significance. It sees itself as a center of university-based, non-university, and industrial research. Furthermore, it takes a role as a guarantor of research-based teaching, focused on quality and holism. The university promotes the transfer of knowledge and technologies to society in all its areas of expertise and competence. The „Stuttgarter Weg” (Stuttgart Way) means an interdisciplinary integration of engineering, natural sciences, humanities, management, economics, and social sciences based on the fundamentals of cutting-edge research at a disciplinary level. Our vision is “Intelligent systems to benefit society”.

The university’s cutting-edge research is reflected in two Clusters of Excellence: SimTech, which takes the usability and precision of simulations to a whole new level, and IntCDC, which harnesses the full potential of digital technologies to rethink design, fabrication, and construction, enabling game-changing innovation.
