Centre for Human Rights Erlangen-Nürnberg

FAU CHREN is an association of scholars from different faculties and disciplines at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. We conduct theoretical and practice-oriented research to further a culture of human rights regionally, nationally and internationally.

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.
