Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Since its foundation, Humboldt-Universität has been a “universitas litterarum” embracing all major scientific disciplines in the humanities and arts, social and cultural sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, medicine and agricultural sciences. The profile of Humboldt research is reflected in fourteen DFG Collaborative Research Centers and in thirteen Research Training Groups in which Humboldt-Universität has the coordinating function. Humboldt-Universität also plays a significant role in the DFG Research Center Matheon. Being aware of the growing need for interdisciplinary research, Humboldt began to set up ad hoc Interdisciplinary Centres across faculty boundaries, some of which include Collaborative Research Centres.
29 Nobel Price Winners who worked at Humboldt-Universität have contributed to the international acclaim of its research. More recently, the university has been given top positions in national and international rankings.
