Research projects

In addition to research in the faculties and institutes, third-party funded projects in particular set the tone: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's research priorities are also reflected in Clusters of Excellence, Collaborative Research Centres and DFG Research Training Groups as well as major European funding projects.

Cluster of Excellence

Clusters of Excellence are large, interdisciplinary research alliances that work on innovative topics at the highest level. Across all disciplines, Humboldt-Universität is working with three other Berlin universities as a network on the major transformations of our time. As part of the Excellence Strategy of the federal and state governments, the BUA 2025 has acquired five Clusters of Excellence.

Das Bild zeigt eine futuristische Darstellung der Stadt Berlin mit verschiedenen Elementen, die Technologie und Innovation symbolisieren. Im Vordergrund ist die Spree zu sehen, die durch die Stadt fließt. Auf dem Fluss sind mehrere transparente Kugeln zu erkennen, die farbige, strukturierte Muster enthalten. Diese Kugeln könnten als Symbol für molekulare Strukturen oder Datenvisualisierungen interpretiert werden.
