Welcome to the website of the FAU Research Center for Human Rights Erlangen-Nuernberg (CHREN)
The FAU Research Center CHREN is a central scientific institution. Research Centers have close links with the higher-level key research priorities at FAU and are involved in at least one collaborative project. Research Centers are also limited to a duration of seven years and have the opportunity during this time to establish their research which may be extended as a Profile Center. An overview of all FAU profile, research and competence centers can be found on the FAU Research profile website.
