Beyond Boundaries: Moving forward together!

Berlin University Alliance will continue to receive funding as a University Consortium of Excellence in the Excellence Strategy research competition organized by the German federal and state governments. Germany's first University Consortium of Excellence is entering its second funding period and making scientific history!

With the funding decision by the Excellence Commission, comprising federal and state ministers of science and internationally renowned figures from science and university management, for a second funding period for Berlin University Alliance, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have proven the performance and strategic capabilities of Berlin's excellence alliance.

Following the first funding application “Crossing Boundaries toward an Integrated Research Environment” Berlin University Alliance is now continuing to develop Berlin as a center of science and innovation in collaboration with numerous stakeholders from research, politics, business, industry, the arts and culture, and civil society. The new funding period is entitled
"Beyond Boundaries: A Joint Agenda for Berlin as an Open Knowledge and Innovation Space".

We would like to thank all partners and employees who have worked together to achieve the second funding period of Berlin University Alliance. We look forward to continuing the success story of Berlin University Alliance together!
