Universität Bayreuth Homepage

The University of Bayreuth turns 50 - and is going to celebrate its birthday all year round. What began with just 632 students and 22 professors across three departments has grown into a globally connected research institution with nearly 12,000 students, 190 degree programmes, seven faculties, 281 professors, and 1,350 additional researchers. The living heart of the system: the campus.

Researchers from the Chair of Biomaterials at the University of Bayreuth have discovered the mechanism by which collagen, the most common protein in the human body, successfully assembles itself. They identified electrostatic forces that support this self-organisation and contribute to the stability of the protein. Their findings have been published in Nature Communications.

The University of Bayreuth's Cluster of Excellence "Africa Multiple" is hosting its annual international conference from 14 to 16 May 2025. Bayreuth will be meeting point for scientists from all over the world. This year's topic, "Temporalities, Youth (Im)mobilities and Agencies: Africa on the Move," focuses on the perceptions of time and the dynamic nature of youth movements in Africa.
