Studying, Researching, Teaching: Do it in Berlin's smartest quarter

Berlin Adlershof is not only the largest technology park in Germany, but is also characterized by a unique science and university landscape.
At its heart is the campus of Humboldt University, which completed the relocation of its mathematics and natural sciences institutes to innovative new buildings in 2003.
Two private universities also contribute to the academic profile of the campus with their diverse offerings: the bbw University of Applied Sciences and the Steinbeis Association complement the Adlershof study programs with business and economics courses.
The number of students on campus is growing steadily and is now around 8,000.

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

The mathematics and natural sciences campus Adlershof of Humboldt-Universität Berlin is home to the Departments of Chemistry, Geography, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology.
Together with the Integrative Research Institute for the Sciences (IRIS Adlershof) and the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems (IRI THESys), as well as the Center for the Science of Materials Berlin (CSMB), they form a fertile scientific biotope that also benefits from networking with non-university research institutes and companies at the Adlershof Technology Park.
As the most important future project on its Adlershof campus, Humboldt-Universität is working on the planning of a "ScienceHUB" with a modular Audimax for at least 500 people. The multifunctional building complex is to become a place for scientific exchange, innovation and start-up consulting, knowledge transfer, networking, scientific events and congresses.
