11. Konferenz für studentische Forschung (StuFo 2026)
Focus on student research: Out of the box – into dialogue!
11th Conference for Student Research on 24th and 25th of September 2026
The University of Göttingen cordially invites students from all disciplines and universities in Germany to present their research results! Under the motto: Out of the box – into dialogue, we want to enable students to showcase and discuss their research across disciplinary boundaries in the form of a lecture or poster presentation.
Apply (alone or as a team) if you are passionate about your research topic, want to inspire others (even those outside your field) and are curious about the work of your fellow students!
We look forward to your ideas, your research and the mutual exchange! Join us and help shape the 11th Conference for Student Research.

Why student research?
Research during one's studies is an important part of academic education. It not only promotes in-depth subject knowledge, but also critical thinking, creative problem solving and scientific communication. In addition, it strengthens students' independence and improves their career prospects. At the University of Göttingen, student research is already possible at bachelor's level through the "Research-Oriented Teaching and Learning" programme (FoLL). Students go through the entire research process, from submitting their application to presenting their results.
Goals and background of StuFo
StuFo fills an important gap in the higher education system by offering students their own platform to present their research independently of established conferences. This makes student research visible across disciplines and universities. The conference promotes exchange and networking and supports students in becoming part of the scientific community at an early stage. In June 2016, the first nationwide conference for student research (StuFo) was launched in Oldenburg. Since then, the StuFo has continued to develop. Numerous universities in Germany – including Berlin, Bochum, Kiel, Hamburg, Hohenheim and Friedrichshafen – have already hosted the conference.
