• Since the beginning of the last decade, the Goethe University has been going through an unusually dynamic process of change. Signs of this are the reconversion to a foundation university in 2008, quality campaigns in teaching and research, increased cooperation with external partners and an almost complete renewal of the entire structural infrastructure.

• These important lines of tradition are continued today in three excellence clusters that were acquired as part of the federal government's excellence initiative in the natural sciences, life sciences and humanities.
•  In the Hessian LOEWE offensive, an excellence initiative of the state of Hesse, convinced the university and its partners with four centers and seven focal points.
