Dear Alumni, Alumnae, and Friends of Goethe University,

We’re EXCITEd – may we share our enthusiasm with you? EXCITE stands for "Excellent. Collaborative. Transformative." This is the proposal we, as the Rhine-Main Universities, have submitted as part of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments. Together – Goethe University Frankfurt, TU Darmstadt, and Gutenberg University Mainz – we aim to achieve the status of a University of Excellence as the RMU alliance.

Using patented laser technology, the innovative startup Modulux3D produces realistic models of human tissues and organs with a 3D bioprinter. The founders offer a promising alternative to animal testing in pharmaceutical research. The startup, which emerged from research at Goethe University, benefits from the Startup Factory Futury, a collaboration involving the Rhine-Main Universities. The goal is to bring basic research into practical application.

The RMU Medical Engineering degree program exemplifies the power of cooperation  

What happens when complementary expertise from universities comes together to create new opportunities? The Rhine-Main Universities alliance demonstrates the potential that arises when distinct profiles are not diluted but intentionally combined. The joint Medical Engineering degree program offered by Goethe University Frankfurt and TU Darmstadt is a prime example of this collaborative strength. Here, clinical experience and engineering expertise intersect—structured, enduring, and with measurable success. A closer look at one of the students reveals how this degree program shapes individuals and opens new horizons.
