Dynaverse is a new Cluster of Excellence initiative of the Universities Cologne and Bonn, the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, the German Aerospace Center and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies.
The Bonn-Cologne-Jülich region is a major astronomy hub, attracting researchers from all around the world. This is evidenced by the diverse composition of our team, with 48% international PIs and 50% international cooperation partners. Additionally, we have increased the number of female PIs to 36%, notably through new hires. For the composition of the cluster and recruitment of the new professorships and the new junior groups, excellence is our main criterion.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has announced that two proposals for new Clusters of Excellence at the University of Cologne were successful in its preliminary evaluation and are now asked to submit full proposals. All full proposals, including those for the existing Clusters of Excellence, must be submitted to the DFG by August 2024.
