Competition is a key element in science and research, both for researchers and for their institutions. Recent years have seen competition in Europe, and especially in Germany, take on new forms and a new quality; in particular, in connection with the establishment of the European Research Area.  This is why recent times have seen ranking lists experience a boom in Germany. Ever more and new attempts to rank excellence are coming onto the market all the time.

We recommend the following publications as a source of guidance and navigational assistance in this diversity:

• DFG Funding Ranking
• CHE Research Ranking
• Humboldt Ranking 2005
• Data Report Wissenschaft weltoffen

• Invitation to first Alumniportal Deutschland Webinar "Renewable Energies" (Start: October 2010)

• Opening Doors for foreign Academics

• Second call for applications in the International Climate Protection Fellowships for prospective leaders from threshold and developing countries
