The Berlin University Alliance is supported by four institutions: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. In order to implement their joint projects, the institutions signed a cooperation agreement in 2018.

The Berlin University Alliance is aware of its social responsibility and the role model effect that comes with it. For this reason, the actions of its committees not only comply with legal regulations and the rules and guidelines issued and published by the partners themselves, but also, in particular, with the highest scientific quality standards and ethical values. Against this background, this code of conduct is a binding framework for action.

A management unit is assigned to each objective; the cross-cutting themes (CCTs) are coordinated centrally. Management units and CCT coordination are responsible for the design and coordination as well as the administrative and operational implementation of measures and projects. They work closely with the respective steering committee and support it and the alliance partners in the implementation of measures and projects
