About
Freie Universität Berlin (Germany)
The following text is taken from the
official page.
Freie Universität Berlin is a leading research institution. It is one
of nine German universities successful in all three funding lines in
the federal and state Excellence Initiative, thereby receiving
additional funding for its institutional future development strategy.
Freie Universität can thus take its place as an “international network
university” in the global competition among universities. Its future
development strategy is focused around three strategic centers: for
cluster development, for international cooperation, and for graduate
studies. Development and assessment of research projects takes place
within three major focus areas – area studies, humanities, and life
sciences. Freie Universität has various offices abroad, e.g., in New
York, Beijing, and Moscow, that provide a platform for international
cooperation. The university’s performance in the Excellence Initiative
has provided funding for several new graduate schools and
transdisciplinary research clusters.
