Information for researchers

Zeppelin University (ZU) understands science not as a mere activity or profession, but as an expression of a mindset committed to argument and plural discourse.

In teaching and research, ZU emphasizes a transfer of social perspectives into science as well as the transfer of scientific knowledge into practical life contexts.
