Humboldt Lab
The Humboldt Lab is a place where latest research projects and findings are presented, a place for networking and discussion, for sharing, interdisciplinarity and internationality, and for debates on pressing issues of our time.
The Humboldt Lab in the Humboldt Forum is a living workshop of ideas where top-level research enters into a dialogue with the public. It presents research by the excellence clusters of the Berlin University Alliance and other cutting-edge institutes and faculties at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It is an exhibition, event and educational venue where latest research projects and findings are presented, a place for networking and discussion, for sharing, interdisciplinarity and internationality, and for debates on pressing issues of our time. And it does all of this in a historical perspective with the aid of numerous objects from the fascinating world of university collections and the history of science. As a “Science HUB” the Humboldt Lab is in equal measure an interface, a marketplace and a pivot point between science and society.
It is institutionally located at the Zentrum für Kulturtechnik (ZfK), a central institute of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
On about 1,000 sqm the Humboldt Lab provides an insight into the variety and relevance of science. Visitors see for themselves the significance of scientific search and cognitive processes and interdisciplinary work. They experience how scientific research affects everyone.
