[1]- © Patricia Kalisch
Major award for Berlin: The
Berlin University Alliance has won funding as a group in the
Universities of Excellence funding line of the German federal and
state governments’ Excellence Strategy. The German Council of
Science and Humanities announced the decision on July 19, 2019, in
Bonn. The four Berlin partners – Freie Universität Berlin,
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin – submitted a joint
proposal entitled Crossing Boundaries toward an Integrated
Research Environment and in a highly competitive process were
able to convince the reviewers of its feasibility. As of November 1,
2019, they will receive up to 196 million euros at first over a
seven-year period. The Berlin Senate will contribute an additional 6
million euros annually through the Einstein Foundation Berlin to
support top-level appointments and research projects.

Three Clusters of Excellence for TU Berlin
In the Excellence Strategy research competition run by the German federal and state governments, three Clusters of Excellence of Technische Universität Berlin are to receive funding. Starting in 2019, the three interdisciplinary research projects, “Unifying Systems in Catalysis”, “MATH+”, and “Science of Intelligence”, will be funded for seven years with up to ten million euros each per annum. After the first seven years, with a renewal proposal, it may be possible to extend the funding a further seven years. TU Berlin had submitted four proposals in total.
In total seven Clusters of Excellence for
Berlin
In addition to the three Clusters of
Excellence of the TU Berlin, four Clusters of Excellence from Freie
Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and
Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin have been successful. These
excellent results fulfill the prerequisite for the planned
collaborative proposal by the four institutions in the Excellence
Strategy.
Matters of Activity: Image Space Material [9]
The Matters of Activity cluster at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin aims to establish the foundation for a new material culture. The project’s central vision is to develop images, spaces, and materials as active structures of a new physical and symbolic reality, in which nature and culture intertwine in a novel way.
