History

The institute focuses on computer and software sciences and is partners with Carnegie-Mellon University and the School of Computing of the National University of Singapore.[3] [4] The development of the institute is supported by the Canton of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland through a 3 million Swiss franc ($3.2 million) funding deal.[5] The academic strategy is set by the 2010 Nobel Laureate in Physics Konstantin Novoselov.[6] In 2021, Constructor University planned to open an additional campus abroad, with Italy among the top candidates.[7] In 2021, Constructor became the main shareholder of the private Jacobs University in Bremen, Germany.[8] According to the Senate, the new majority owner intends to invest 50 million euros in Jacobs University, half of which in the next two years.[9]
