Cooperations

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is a hub for international collaboration and takes pride in maintaining a wide range of partnerships, spanning from informal individual-level cooperations to formalised strategic partnerships.

Our individual collaborations extend across numerous international teaching and research projects, which are driven by the cooperation of individual academics. The regional focus of these activities is determined in close cooperation with chairs and faculties. The strategic partnerships of the HU reflect a university-wide, cross-faculty interest and play a significant role in shaping the international profile of the university.

We are also involved in various international networks in order to promote the exchange of knowledge and best practices with our partners and to strengthen our presence in the international research landscape.

We are here to support you

If cross-departmental collaborations are to be established and collaboration between individual faculties and institutes is to be promoted internationally, faculty contracts are signed. The International Department can provide sample contracts to support this. If the collaborations at the faculty level prove to be fruitful and compatible with several academic areas, this can result in university contracts that pursue common goals and pool resources from several faculties.

Various funding opportunities are available to support international collaborations, enabling our researchers and students to execute their projects and expand their international experiences. The International Department is available to help you find suitable funding opportunities for your international projects.
