Four strong partners form the basis for a fruitful cooperative relationship that is capable of development: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

The research performed at the three universities and at Charité – Universitätsmedizin helps to make Berlin one of Germany’s leading sites for academia and research. More than 100,000 students study at these institutions, which serve as a magnet for scholars and scientists from all over the world and a site of training for outstanding next-generation talent in academia and the sciences. Through numerous partnerships, some of them having grown up over decades, the institutions have forged global networks and occupy excellent positions in international rankings.
