LMU Munich is one of the leading research universities in Europe, with a more than 500-year-long tradition. We build upon our success in the Excellence Initiative, a Germany-wide competition promoting top-level university research, to enhance our research profile over the next years and strengthen our position at an international level.
The know-how and creative intelligence of our academics form the foundation not only of our success in the Excellence competition, but also of LMU’s outstanding research balance as recognized by many national and international university rankings. The provision of equal opportunities for men and women is a key factor in increasing research and teaching quality over the long term; by implementing targeted equal opportunity measures, we are able to guarantee that the potential of its existing talent is utilized to the full.
Some 700 professors and 3,600 academic staff members conduct research and teach in the university’s 18 faculties, offering a wide and well-differentiated spectrum that covers all areas of knowledge, whether humanities and cultural sciences, law, economics and social sciences, or medicine and the natural sciences. As a genuine “universitas” LMU Munich has the unique opportunity and a deep obligation to deal with the ever more complex questions facing humankind, society, culture, the environment and technology by creating interdisciplinary solutions.

A distância da Terra em relação ao Sol permite que nosso planeta seja habitável para a vida, mas a evolução da inteligência pode estar ligada à própria evolução do ambiente terrestre.

Os seres humanos evoluíram tardiamente na história da Terra. Embora esse momento tenha inspirado a conclusão de que a vida inteligente como a humana é uma improbabilidade cósmica, um novo estudo rechaça esta ideia
The Sun’s distance from Earth allows it to be habitable for life.

Humans evolved late in Earth history. While this timing inspired the conclusion that humanlike life is a cosmic improbability, a new study pushes back.
Recently, scientists have been working on concepts similar to those developed by French physicist Louis de Broglie to interrogate the wave-particle duality at a macroscopic scale.

A century ago, physicists laid the foundations of quantum mechanics. One of them, Louis de Broglie, disavowed a famous theory. Why?
Des travaux bien postérieurs à ceux de Louis de Broglie interrogent la dualité onde-corpuscule à l’échelle macroscopique.

As world leaders gather at COP29 to consider reducing emissions, the latest global carbon budget shows CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels are still going up, not down, despite some promising signs.
Kencangnya laju emisi mengurangi jatah CO2 yang bisa kita lepaskan untuk membatasi suhu Bumi 1,5°C. Dengan tingkat emisi saat ini, bujet karbon kita tersisa 7 tahun lagi.
Les émissions de CO2 d'origine fossile continuent d'augmenter, mais le pic semble proche.

Les quantités de CO₂ que nous pouvons encore émettre tout en respectant l’objectif de l’accord de Paris se réduisent à une peau de chagrin : au rythme de 2023, nous aurons épuisé ce budget carbone dans sept ans.
Record emissions are fast shrinking the remaining amount of carbon dioxide we can emit if we are to limit global warming. At current rates, we’ll use up the budget for a 1.5°C outcome in seven years.
