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 research and teaching, ZU places particular emphasis on bidirectional transfer: societal perspectives enrich academic discourse, while academic insights are translated into practical applications.

As a research-oriented university, our three academic departments combine their disciplinary roots with an interdisciplinary way of thinking and working.

Researchers at ZU are committed to the principles of good scientific work. Both our Ethics Committee and our Ombudsperson for Self-Regulation in Science deal with all aspects of safeguarding good scientific practice. In addition to this the Academic Advisory Board advises the Academic Board on important academic issues, in particular in the areas of research, teaching, transfer, young academics, internationalisation and the general academic strategic orientation of the university.

Within the framework of its consistent research orientation, ZU attaches the highest importance to the education and support of early career researchers.
