Foreword
More than ten years ago the Federal and State Excellence Initiative created important new development impulses for the German research landscape. Universities were given the unique opportunity to expand their fundamental and application-oriented, top-level research by improving framework conditions as well as to promote their research at an international level—an opportunity and challenge that the RWTH Aachen University was keen on accepting. Since its foundation in 1870, the RWTH Aachen University has grown from a local polytechnic school to one of Europe’s leading technical universities with an outstanding international reputation. With the future concept “2020: Meeting Global Challenges” the RWTH succeeded in redefining its strategic approach and realigning itself towards the future—while moving ahead vigorously. We want to make an essential contribution to top-level university research in Germany, compete globally and become one of the best technical universities in the world, under the motto “Excellence through integration, interdisciplinarity and innovative strength”.
