Berlin University Alliance Wins Excellence Status
Success for TU Berlin and its Partners
A total of 17 universities and two university consortia had applied for the special grants, which include funding and enhanced reputation. Today 11 of these coveted grants were awarded. The Berlin alliance, consisting of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, won one of them, and is the first and only consortium with excellence status in Germany.
Following the funding approval for seven Clusters of Excellence in the first funding line in September 2018, this is the second major success for Berlin in the German Excellence Strategy.
