Products and brands

Interdisciplinary research is a priority for the University of Kassel. This includes research cooperation and dialogue with international research institutions, such as the Fraunhofer Society. High-profile research includes new materials as well as sustainability. In order to strengthen the latter by adding new chairs, in 2021 the Kassel Institute of Sustainability was founded.

Research fields and cooperation projects also include the Brothers Grimm who spent their most productive years in Kassel and who wrote their famous fairy tales there, and the documenta, the world's most important exhibition of modern art, taking place in Kassel every five years.

Scientists at the Centre for Environmental Systems Research at the University of Kassel have been investigating how Germany can power itself entirely by renewable energy.
