The Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies is dedicated to the inner diversity, historical mutability, and global interconnectedness of Islamic-influenced cultures and societies. In particular, the graduate school explores the interactions and relationships between Muslim and non-Muslim groups and societies, in Europe and worldwide. It is considered one of the most distinguished graduate schools in Berlin and is one of the few institutions in Europe that specializes in this field. In addition, the worldwide networking and the strong research orientation of the graduates were honored. The prize money is to be used, among other things, for "predoctoral" funding, i.e. to enable promising candidates to embark on successful doctoral studies.
