Founded in 2023, Wübben Stif­tung Wis­sen­schaft is a private grant-making foun­da­ti­on based in Berlin. Its mission is to help streng­t­hen Germany’s po­si­ti­on as a center of ex­cel­lence for science and re­se­arch that is in­ter­na­tio­nal­ly visible and com­pe­ti­ti­ve. The Foun­da­ti­on sees itself as a stra­te­gic partner to German uni­ver­si­ties and sup­ports them in iden­ti­fy­ing, re­crui­t­ing, and in­te­gra­ting in­ter­na­tio­nal re­se­ar­chers.
