Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Integrative Research Institutes

For outstanding researchers who want to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams on a research field in which HU is aiming to achieve a leading international position, the University can set up temporary Integrative Research Institutes (IRI). These inter-departmental institutes aim to promote research-strong intra-university collaboration and thus to make a decisive contribution to profile-building at HU. At the same time, the close cooperation with external research partners at the IRIs also provides a way to fully utilise the potential that exists at the intersections of university and non-university research. As a result, they will help to develop the collaborative research areas at HU over the long term.
