The basis of all scientific work at the University of Passau are the recognized principles of scientificity such as honesty, work lege artis, documentation of results and consistent doubting of all results. Scientific misconduct damages the individuals involved, the university, and science as a whole. In order to create awareness of the basic rules and also to strengthen trust among scientists, the Graduate Center offers free participation in an e-learning tool on "Good Scientific Practice" designed by Goethe University Frankfurt.
Here you can request your online access:
If the performance of studies on humans, identifiable human material or identifiable data is planned, the opinion of the locally responsible ethics committee is required in principle.
On November 13, 2023 from 16:00-17:30, the Ethics Committee of the University of Passau will inform in a ZOOM event when it is necessary to submit an application for one's own research project and what requirements it must meet. Further information will be announced near the date.
We are pleased to present you with our
workshop program for the winter term 2022/2023
a selection of interesting, target group-specific events.

Service of the Transfer Centre
The Centre for Transfer and Start-up Promotion supports the scientists of the University of Passau in project planning and networking with partner companies from the business world.
The Transfer Centre has three spheres of activity. First, the Transfer Centre is to intensify and project the knowledge transfer activities beyond the disciplines, faculties and University. In particular, for knowledge transfer it has the following remit:
- lend support to chairs and institutes when initiating and coordinating research and development projects. At the initiation stage, this includes fundamental advice (first-level support) in legal matters, particularly concerning R&D contracts, patents and licensing. If research funding is to be applied for or research contracts concluded, e.g. in the form of a research and development agreement, the Research Services section of the University's Central Administration will assist the respective chairs and institutes.
- ensure exploitation of hitherto unused knowledge transfer potential across all disciplines by identifying ("scouting" for) particularly transfer-relevant research and matching them with potential users and transfer-related support schemes; the Transfer Centre is to provide support in the formation of internal and external consortia.
- communicate current topics from business and society to the chairs and institutes.
- pool all transfer-related activities within the University of Passau and communicating them to the public.
Further Information and contact are available on the Website of the Tranfer Centre:
Passau Young Researchers Excellence Centre
Within the framework of the Passau Young Researchers Excellence Centre (PYREC), the University of Passau promotes interfaculty collaboration among young researchers and offers a public space to present research results.
Every semester, university-wide colloquia are held in which junior researchers can publicly present their research.
We will announce the next date in due time.

Drawing on both literary theory and cognitive science, the research of Dr. Mistreanu in the interdisciplinary field of cognitive literary studies encompasses a wide range of questions regarding the complex and intricate relationship between fiction and cognition. The work is twofold: on the one hand, she investigates the literary depictions of human mental activity, with a focus on contemporary French-language translingual fiction. She pays special attention to the representations of affect, creativity, imagination, thought and reason, and to the way these cognitive processes illustrate different cultural, social and political phenomena of our world, such as migration, minorities’ rights, upheavals and social justice movements. On the other hand, the work in the areas of literary theory and postclassical narratology explores, questions and aims to theorize different manners in which cognitive science can enrich our understanding of the interface between literary fiction and the human mind. In this presentation, Dr. Mistreanu will discuss some of the highlights of her research, talks about the two books she has authored so far, and introduces some of the topics she is currently addressing in her work.
The lecture will be held in English. All members of the University of Passau and interested members of the public are cordially invited to the event.

From mathematical models against contaminated soils to the analysis of Putin's instrumentalization of pan-Slavism: Six Ukrainian scientists can advance their projects at the University of Passau for a year with the help of scholarships from the Volkswagen Foundation. The guests will conduct research at all four faculties.
The "DigiKol" sees itself as a network of doctoral and post-doctoral law students conducting research in the field of digitalization. The research focuses are broadly diversified in the various fields of law and cover, among other things, topics such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and platform regulation, as well as data protection and data business law issues. The DigiKol concept rests on three pillars: Exchange, Colloquia and Networking.
The BayWISS-Verbundkolleg Communikation | Media is one of eleven Verbundkollegs in Bavaria and thematically focuses on the central question: "What influence does the digital transformation have on public interest-oriented communication (journalism) and strategic communication (public relations) as well as on business models in the media?" It networks researchers in Bavaria across university types and provides a strong platform for developing synergies. Thanks to the lively network and non-material and financial support, outstanding graduates, especially from universities of applied sciences, become excellent researchers in the BayWISS-Verbundkolleg.
The Verbundkolleg Economics promotes cooperative doctoral studies at Bavarian universities of applied sciences and universities. There, scientists work, discuss and research together - across disciplines and universities. They combine scientific research and expert knowledge with practical application results and thus create targeted and demand-oriented innovation - for the economy, for Bavaria as a business location and beyond.
The funding program enables doctoral candidates to network and receive further training in the field of digitization as well as financial support for research activities as part of their doctoral project.
Doctoral projects by particularly qualified doctoral candidates that have a technically, economically or socially relevant focus that is significant for digitization are to be funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
Admission to the Graduate Center enables participation in events and courses on current and relevant topics of digitization, as well as the receipt of a scholarship.
Participants of the Graduate Center also have access to all bidt events, can benefit from an interdisciplinary exchange with other PhD students as well as experts from science and society within the framework of networking events and working groups, and increase their visibility within the professional community and beyond.
The Graduate Center for PhD students is coordinated by bidt.
