IFAF Berlin supports, promotes and funds applied research on all types of current challenges confronting our lives today. As a result, the knowledge and expertise of universities of applied sciences becomes publicly accessible and can be incorporated into a joint quest for the social, technological and economic solutions which can help shape the future of our society.
With support from Land Berlin, the IFAF Berlin (Institut für angewandte Forschung Berlin, Berlin Institute for Applied Research Berlin) was founded in 2009 by the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, Beuth University of Applied Sciences, HTW Berlin University of Applied Sciences, and the Berlin School of Economics and Law. Since then, through the interdisciplinary cooperation between these universities of applied sciences, we have promoted knowledge and technology transfer at the highest level.
