Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences
Thanks to the unique combination of agricultural, nutritional and food sciences with geodesy, the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences (AEI) has ideal opportunities to develop the scientific basis for a sustainable supply of energy and food to meet demand and to support its implementation in practice.
For the AEI, top scientific qualifications and professional skills are equally important educational goals. Graduates must not only acquire theoretical and practical specialist knowledge, but also methodological and social skills and the ability to think critically and interdisciplinarily. We meet the requirements of the job market with research-oriented Bachelor's and Master's degrees. [ read more ]

University of Bonn Boosted by New Research Alliances
The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) has announced that a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC) is to be set up at the University of Bonn: the “FoodDiverse” collaborative project, which is studying the diversification of food systems. The University will also be involved in a new CRC/Transregio (CRC-TRR) looking at narratives from pre-modern times and various cultural contexts, while two existing CRC-TRRs have been extended for another funding period. TRRs are projects that are implemented by several universities working together.
From the Rhine to the Tropics
Using a low-cost sensor and the Global Navigation Satellite System Interferometric Reflectometry (GNSS-IR), river water levels can be monitored around the clock. The water level data are automatically transmitted via cellular networks to an analysis center. Researchers at the University of Bonn developed the method several years ago and tested it on the Lower Rhine. With support from the European Space Agency (ESA), the monitoring system is now also being used in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
Less hunger, more environmental problems?
In sub-Saharan Africa, many people are undernourished or malnourished. A new study by the Universities of Bonn and Ghana shows how rising incomes and urbanization are influencing dietary patterns of local populations. According to this, the wealthier segments in African countries are increasingly eating like people in Western industrialized countries. Although this improves their supply of important nutrients, it also has a greater negative impact on the environment. The study also looks at how this environmental damage can be minimized. It has been published in the journal ‘Sustainable Production and Consumption.’
Marking 150 Years of Geodesy in Bonn
The University of Bonn will be celebrating 150 years of geodesy in the city on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. With a special ceremony, the University’s Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation will be acknowledging its long tradition in research and teaching while also turning its thoughts to the future. Specifically, it will be asking what contributions geodesy will need to make to society, science and technology over the coming decades.
AI with Locality Awareness
The University of Bonn is hosting a new Emmy Noether Group devoted to AI methods. Junior Professor Marc Rußwurm is developing AI methods for fusing different types of geodata to arrive at a uniform geospatial representation. The German Research Foundation (DFG) will be providing up to 1.4 million euros in funding for the research group over the next six years. The Emmy Noether Program is a framework designed to enable selected postdocs and assistant professors on fixed-term contracts to obtain the qualifications necessary to hold a university professorship.
How realistic does a supermarket need to be?
Researchers at the University of Bonn have conducted a review study to examine the methods used to research consumer behaviour in supermarkets.
