Open Humboldt

Dialogue and knowledge exchange with society are core elements of Humboldt's self-understanding. Open Humboldt stands for expanded knowledge transfer, which encompasses business- and technology-oriented transfer, continuing education, and cooperation with social stakeholders.

Our mission: Networking science, business and society

Open Humboldt brings research into practical contexts. Social stakeholders are invited to actively participate in formulating scientific questions and finding solutions. The dialogue with stakeholders from industry opens up new avenues for the development of entrepreneurial ideas and innovations.

Experience science

For us, science does not end behind closed laboratory doors or only take place in the lecture theatre: We build bridges and open up discussion spaces for dialogue between science and society at eye level. Visit our events and places to discover and explore.

Education through science

Humboldt-Universität is a place for lifelong learning with programmes for students, professionals and interested people of all ages. For us, education is not a privilege, but a fundamental right. That is why we create a wide range of educational programmes: from school-based formats to vocational training and academic qualifications.

Your contribution to the exchange of knowledge

Offers for researchers and employees of Humboldt-Universität

We provide interdisciplinary support in shaping scientific issues in collaboration with society in order to jointly contribute to overcoming social challenges. To this end, we offer an advisory and training programme for implementing knowledge exchange with society in research and teaching, provide support with funding opportunities and facilitate networking with other projects and social actors. Get in touch with us to find out how we can support you.

Offers for students

Studying at Humboldt-Universität involves more than just acquiring knowledge. Students are given the opportunity early on to apply what they have learnt in practice and develop solutions for business and society.

Contact point for citizens and potential cooperation partners

In participatory projects, scientists work together with citizens as well as regional and local initiatives, educational and cultural organisations and business partners to research new issues. Sometimes these develop in a very practical way from everyday experience, sometimes it is a scientific approach to the major global challenges of our time. Are you interested in working with us, would you like to get involved or do you have any suggestions for us? Then please get in touch with us!
