Future studies and innovation play an important role in the development of our society. In Berlin, in particular, these fields form an essential part of studies into economics, law and social sciences. In a diverse range of departments at universities, colleges and private business schools, students are taught modern and innovative marketing and management concepts. In turn, a number of projects and activities, such as the Laboratory for Entrepreneurship at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU), help to support and promote the practical implementation of these cutting-edge business models.
Research and Consulting
Yet another unique strength of Berlin’s science community in the field of economics and social studies are its non-university institutions. The Berlin-based German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) is the largest economic research center in the country. It performs applied economic research and also provides economic policy advice. The Social Science Research Center (WZB) concentrates on basic, problem-oriented research. Here, historians, economists, political scientists, lawyers and sociologists investigate development trends, adjustment problems and innovation opportunities in modern societies while also providing consulting services to social and state institutions.
Among the WZB’s most important fields of research are:
- Education, Skill Formation and Labor Markets
- Democracy and Civil Society· Innovation and Science Policy
- Mobility and Transport
- Social Inequality and Problems of the Welfare State
- Competition, State and Governance
