The University of Stuttgart is one of Germany's premier hubs for fundamental research, boasting two clusters of excellence, four DFG Collaborative Research Centers, and two Transregios (with one holding a spokesperson role). Additionally, it oversees five DFG Research Training Groups (one in collaboration with Heidelberg where Heidelberg has taken on the role of spokesperson university) and coordinates six DFG Priority Programs.
