The Berlin University Alliance is composed of four institutions: Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. They signed a cooperation agreement in 2018 in order to be able to implement their joint projects.

The Berlin University Alliance is aware of its social responsibility and the associated role model effect. For this reason, the actions of its bodies not only comply with legal regulations as well as self-imposed regulations, and guidelines issued and published by the partners but in particular with the highest scientific quality standards and ethical values. Against this background, the present code of conduct serves as a binding framework for action.
