Research promotion and academic careers are a particular concern of the KU.

The Research Service Center (ZFF) is the central contact and service point for all inquiries of a strategic and operational nature - with a special focus on the initiation and acquisition of peer-reviewed third-party funded research projects. The ZFF informs and advises researchers at all stages of their projects and career stages.
