Research Infrastructure

Intra- and inter-university cooperation is a critical success factor both for the faculty and its various institutions as well as for the University of Bonn as a whole: the bundling of expertise from different academic disciplines at an alma mater allows research of 'short distances' and increases the university’s appeal for young researchers.

The organizational units of crop science at the Faculty of Agriculture give scientists access to established techniques across institutes and faculties.

Service Platform for Plant Experiments

Organizational unit to support research and teaching in the field of modern crop sciences.

Core Facility Climate Chambers

Climate chamber area with 12 plant growth climate chambers and a flexibly usable greenhouse area.

Sample and Vegetation Center

Practical trials for the evaluation of digital technologies to improve the sustainability of crop production.

Large Animal Research and Care Center (LARC)

Unifying agricultural and medical expertise in large animal research and care.

⁴

External Laboratories

The external laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture form a directly faculty-related organizational unit that supports the institutes of the faculty in their research and teaching tasks. Within the scope of their capacities, they are available to all institutions of the University of Bonn for carrying out research and teaching.

Campus Klein-Altendorf (CKA)

The CKA is located between Rheinbach and Meckenheim and focuses on arable, crop and horticultural tests.

⁵

Campus Frankenforst

Campus Frankenforst is located on the outskirts of Königswinter-Vinxel and works in the field of animal science experiments.

⁶

Campus Wiesengut

Campus Wiesengut is located in the Siegauen near Hennef and constitutes the experimental farm for organic farming.

⁷

Research Centers

Center for Earth System Observations and Computational Analysis (CESOC)

The aim of the research partnership is to observe, understand and forecast the Earth system in times of global environmental changes.

⁸

Horticulture Competence Centre (KoGa)

At the research station Campus Klein Altendorf, the Horticulture Competence Centre of the University of Bonn and other sponsors bring together the potential of research, experimentation and extension.

⁹

Center of Integrated Dairy Research (CIDRe)

Interdisciplinary cooperation with special consideration of animal health and the well-being of dairy cows as well as environmental aspects in dairy farming.

¹⁰

Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces (ZFL)

Interdisciplinary research center of the University of Bonn in the fields of remote sensing, earth observations, geoinformation sciences and spatial modelling.
