Scientists of the faculty 2: Civil and environmental engineering are an active part of both clusters of excellence Data-integrated simulation science and Integrative computational design and construction for architecture of the University of Stuttgart, which are funded for seven years by the German research foundation (DFG) with an amount of several billion Euros each.
Furthermore there are existing interdisciplinary research relationships and collaborative research centers with these national and international partners and projects:
- CRC 1244 Adaptive skins and structures for the built environment of tomorrow, spokesperson: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Werner Sobek, ILEK
- CRC 1313 Interface-driven multi-field processes in porous media – flow, transport and deformation, spokesperson: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Helmig, IWS
- International research training group 2198/1 soft tissue robotics, spokesperson: associate dean Prof. Oliver Röhrle, Ph.D., IMSB
- Participation in further collaborative research centers: SFB-TRR 141, SFB 837, SFB 1253 Campos [DE]
