Scientific Institutes

Science and research – freedom of thought, curiosity and innovation, far beyond the narrow confines of scientific life at the universities. For more than 300 years, science and research have been pursued in Berlin at countless scientific institutes where theory and practice are closely intertwined. They've developed computers that can read people's thoughts, they've disputed the "point of art", and they've integrated humanities and natural sciences on an interdisciplinary basis in order to really gain new insights. Berlin offers a truly remarkable research environment.
