Project Description

The website ›Kleine Fächer‹ is dedicated to university subjects that have no more than three professorships per university location and are thus understood as small subjects in distinction to medium-sized and large subjects.

The portal is maintained by the ›Kleine Fächer‹ working group, a research institution at Johannes Gutenberg University whose task is to investigate the situation of small subjects at German universities. This includes not only the identification of a subject as a small subject, but also the continuous documentation of the stock of small subjects and the comparative study of developments and framework conditions at German universities. In addition, the data and research results will be made available to the public digitally and through workshops, publications, and lectures.
