The University of Bayreuth is celebrated for its distinctive focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, promoting dialogue between various fields of study.

From a global perspective, we are far from being able to supply all people with food in such a way that they can lead an active and healthy life. Nutrient deficiency, malnutrition in its tremendous variety as well as planetary, social and cultural determinants to health are serious issues and central challenges of the 21st century. These global health problems are primarily not a request to medicine, but rather to the nutrition and health sciences and to the industry and politics implementing them. At the same time, social science, cultural, sociological and ecological aspects play an important role in the production, trade and consumption of food. It therefore seems imperative to demonstrate the link between the production and supply of sufficient and safe food worldwide ("Food"), between the social and cultural aspects of nutrition (“Nutrition”) and its impact on health (“Health”) in a global context from a scientific and educational point of view. While the food supply is directly related to a healthy, individual development, health care globally faces extensive challenges that go beyond this context. This includes – in addition to the increase in infectious diseases worldwide – changes in the spectrum of so-called civilizational diseases, which in many ways have causal connections to social development. Nowadays these can be perceived in a global development and can only be adequately assessed with regard to prevention, diagnostics and therapy. A specific perspective on global health not only enables a better handling of the epidemiology of diseases, but also serves as a starting point for the interdisciplinary discussion about the development of individual and common living spaces and life opportunities.
The University of Bayreuth stands out as a dynamic institution at the forefront of innovative education and research. Known for its youthful energy since its establishment, the university has become a beacon of academic excellence. With a commitment to interdisciplinary studies, it fosters a vibrant community that encourages collaboration between diverse fields.

This emphasis on unique academic strengths, combined with a dedication to research-driven teaching and global engagement, makes the University of Bayreuth a distinctive and influential player in the academic landscape.
