Einstein Foundation Berlin

Established in 2009, the Einstein Foundation Berlin promotes research excellence in Berlin. Its partners are the scientific institutions in Berlin, particularly the four universities: Freie Universität, Humboldt Universität, Technische Universität and Universität der Künste as well as the four research groups Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, Leibniz-Gemeinschaft and Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.

The goal is to enable excellent results in research and to increase the international visibility of the sciences in Berlin. Thus, the Einstein Foundation Berlin makes a major contribution towards raising Berlin's prof ile as an attractive site for science and research with an international reach. For the federal state of Berlin, this is a fundamental committment - very much in the spirit of the foundation's namesake: Albert Einstein.
