The Einstein Strategic Professorship program uses outstanding professorships as a strategic tool to attract world-class researchers from other countries to Berlin for long-term posts in top roles. The program helps Berlin’s universities, Charité – Universitätsmedizin, and the publicly funded Berlin-based research institutions, in particular the Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association, the Leibniz Association, and the Fraunhofer Society, to implement pioneering research strategies, build their research profiles, explore and advance innovative research fields, and strengthen existing competencies so they can attract more top talent. Einstein Strategic Professorships play a key role in positioning Berlin as a world-leading research location in the long term.
