The aim of a joint initiative undertaken by Berlin’s non-university research institutions is to strengthen the capital’s role as an international science hub. They have joined forces to create Berlin Research 50 (BR50). BR50 has its offices at the Forschungsverbund Berlin in Adlershof and at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center in Mitte.
The new network includes almost all non-university institutes and centers in the Berlin metropolitan area. It is intended to facilitate coordination between non-university research institutions and to provide a central point of contact for cooperation with Berlin’s universities and for engagement with stakeholders in society and politics. Like the Berlin University Alliance (BUA) – the association of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin – BR 50 will also provide a platform for the participating institutions to engage in ongoing dialogue.
