In 2020, the faculty was again more successful than the University of Stuttgart as a whole in attracting third-party funding. In September 2022, the Federal Statistical Office Destatis in Wiesbaden published the amount of third-party funding that was raised at German universities in 2020 (more recent comparative figures are only available internally). The press release states:
"On average, professors at German universities raised third party funds of 287,000 euros each in 2020. [...] To allow comparisons between universities with and without medical institutions, the medical institutions/health science departments of universities are not included here, one of the reasons being their very high third party funds."
The subject group with the highest third-party funding per professorship in 2020 was engineering with €631,300, followed by human medicine including health sciences.
At 661,200 euros, the third-party funding of the University of Stuttgart is again far more than twice as high as the average and ranks third among all German universities. A total of 24,4 million euros raised by all employees of the faculty is an increase higher than the depriciation rate. The resulting 977,900 euros per professorship is more than 47% above the University of Stuttgart average and nearly 55% above the average third-party funding per professorship in engineering.
