University of Würzburg Achieves Top Positions in the Nature Index Ranking

22/07/2025 Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, JMU
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) has once again achieved a top position in the current ‘Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders’ ranking: It is among the top 150 universities worldwide. In a national comparison, it ranks 5th and is therefore one of the strongest research universities in Germany.

The Nature Index tracks the publication output of research institutions in 145 leading journals from the natural and life sciences, taking into account not only the number of publications but also the respective institutional share of publications. This provides an even more differentiated assessment of research performance.

Top rankings in chemistry, physical sciences and biological sciences

JMU’s research strength is particularly evident in individual disciplines: In chemistry, it is ranked 4th among universities in Germany, and 9th in both physical sciences and biological sciences.

“These outstanding results once again demonstrate the international visibility and excellence of our research. At the same time, they underline JMU’s competitiveness, especially with regard to the Excellence Strategy,” emphasised University President Paul Pauli. “Our sincere thanks go to all researchers for their exceptional commitment”.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
