In the European university alliance Circle U., alongside eight European partners, it is building a European university of the future: Innovative structures offer students – as well as researchers, teachers, and even employees – the opportunity to create new forms of highly networked collaboration in mobility, teaching or research to be implemented at European level.

In the CENTRAL network, Humboldt-Universität is strengthening its position in Central Europe and, together with four other partners contributing to the consolidation and further development of this important area of higher education.
