Websites and Digital Tools
for Science and Research in Cologne

Cologne is a city of vibrant life, but also a hub of serious science. Where space missions are controlled at the DLR headquarters and the causes of aging are researched at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence, digital solutions are required that do more than just "look good." Scholara is your partner to communicate the complex results of Cologne's research world clearly and professionally.

We know that in Cologne, tradition (one of Europe's oldest universities) meets high-tech. Whether you need to visualize complex metabolic processes for a Max Planck Institute or digitally manage a conference at TH Köln: We offer you the appropriate IT infrastructure. Our websites are secure, accessible, and as flexible as the people of Cologne themselves.

Cologne

With over a million inhabitants, Cologne is the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and truly a state of mind. The Cathedral (Dom) is a world-famous landmark, and the Rhine is the city's lifeline. But Cologne is much more than tourism and Carnival: As a media city, it is home to major broadcasters and publishers, creating a creative and communicative atmosphere.

For students and researchers, Cologne offers an enormous density of opportunities. The city is cosmopolitan, tolerant, and perfectly connected via the ICE hub and airport. Hierarchies are often flatter, and exchange is more direct—fostering interdisciplinary networks that are particularly strong in Cologne's scientific landscape.

Higher Education and Research in Cologne

The University of Cologne is one of the oldest and largest universities in Germany. As a University of Excellence, it plays in the top tier, especially with its Clusters of Excellence in aging research (CECAD) and plant sciences (CEPLAS). The Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences also enjoys an outstanding international reputation.

Unique is the German Sport University Cologne, the largest of its kind in Europe. Technologically, TH Köln—Germany's largest University of Applied Sciences—sets standards in applied research ("Technology, Arts, Sciences").

Another highlight is the German Aerospace Center (DLR), headquartered in Cologne-Porz. Here, astronauts train at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC). This portfolio is complemented by four Max Planck Institutes (including Biology of Ageing and the Study of Societies). Scholara offers tailored digital solutions for this broad spectrum—from astrophysics to sociology—translating scientific excellence into the web.
