Berlin Institute of Technology
The Technische Universitat Berlin (TUB or TU Berlin) is a research university located in Berlin, Germany. Translating the name into English is discouraged by the university, however paraphrasing as Berlin Institute of Technology is recommended by the university if necessary (a German Institut often refers to a university department only).
The TU Berlin was founded in 1879 and, with nearly 30,000 students, is one of the largest technical universities in Germany. It also has the highest proportion of foreign students out of universities in Germany, with 20.9% in the summer semester of 2007, roughly 5,598 students. The university alumni and professor list include National Academies elections, two National Medal of Science laureates and ten Nobel Prize winners. The TU Berlin is a member of TU9, an incorporated society of the largest and most notable German institutes of technology.The TU Berlin is a member of the Top Industrial Managers for Europe network, which allows for student exchanges between leading European engineering schools. It also belongs to the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research. As of 2011, TU Berlin is ranked 46th (2010: 48th) in the world in the field of Engineering & Technology according to QS World University Rankings. However, it never made it to the 400 list of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
History
The old northern front of the main building, which was considerably damaged during the Second World War and replaced by a modern front in the 1960s
The institution was unified in 1879 under the name Royal Technical College of Charlottenburg (later Berlin) by merging the Building Academy (Bauakademie), established in 1799, and the Vocational Academy, established in 1829. Since 1916 it has been integrated with the former Mining Academy, which was the oldest institution, founded in 1770. The college was closed after World War II on 20 April 1945 and the university re-opened on 9 April 1946 under its current name.

Research Shapes the Future
- TU Berlin/Pressestelle/Dahl
The Technische Universiät Berlin with its seven faculties is an internationally renowned research university with a rich tradition. We conduct basic and applied research at the highest international level. Our researchers regularly receive prestigious science awards and are highly successful in the acquisition of third-party funding. In the context of Excellence Initiative projects, other national and international funding programs and collaborations with industrial partners, funds amounting to 145 million Euro were spent in the year 2010.
As a part of the outstanding research environment in Berlin and Brandenburg, we invest our efforts in networking and synergy: Innovation Centers specializing in future-oriented themes have been established at the TU Berlin. They bring together the expertise of our researchers, strengthen their networks and cultivate and promote cooperation within the university and with external partners.
Remarkable synergy effects have been achieved through strategic collaboration with non-university research institutes within the Fraunhofer Society and Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association and the Leibniz Association. Currently, approximately 60 outstanding researchers hold joint professorships combining their research in their respective disciplines at the TU Berlin with the work at external research institutes.
Utilizing synergy and promoting the transfer of knowledge and technology – this is the motto behind our successful strategic collaboration with international enterprises. At the so-called “An-Institute” (or on location institutes) such as the Telekom Research Laboratories or the Daimler Center for Automotive Information Technology Innovations (DCAITI), academic and industrial research are combined in an intelligent manner. Furthermore, the TU Berlin has currently established 21 endowed professorships (as of January 2011) with international commercial enterprises such as Siemens AG, or through cooperative associations with small and medium-sized enterprises. At the regional level as well, the TU Berlin intensifies the transfer of expertise and technology through the consistent support of start-ups, thereby contributing to cooperation beyond disciplinary and institutional boundaries as part of the brand “Campus Charlottenburg- the art of ideas”.
The “Hybrid Plattform” is the joint teaching platform and project laboratory on Campus Charlottenburg. It offers space for experiments in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration and invites researchers to explore new perspectives on their work. Such cooperation allows for finding new solutions by thinking “outside the box”. It has the potential to better meet the challenges facing our societies and is often highly attractive for business and industry.
Research for Innovation is a trademark for the TU Berlin which is tested in the most convincing fashion through the participation in two of the three European Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). As part of the network of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology our researchers work towards innovations in the clusters “Climate Change: Mitigation and Adaption” as well as “Future Information and Communication Society” to ensure a sustainable development.
Academia needs fresh ideas and the TU Berlin supports successful academic careers from its early studies program for inquisitive schoolchildren through their studies and doctoral work to the postdoctoral-phase. In this context, we place greatest possible significance on diversity. As regards doctoral studies, this ranges from being employed as research fellow at a Chair to the cooperative supervision in doctoral programs to external doctoral projects in cooperation with industry. At the postdoctoral stage, independent research projects, research groups of junior researchers and junior professorships are the main focus. In this way, a leading position is ensured for the TU Berlin within the national and international research community.
Doctoral Programs
Apart from the "traditional" model of individual supervision the TU Berlin offers a growing number of doctoral programs offering joint supervision, an academic programme as well as transferable skills training.
Such programs are funded by the Excellence Initiative, the German Research Foundation (DFG), various other foundations as well as the TU Berlin itself. Details regarding the application procedure can be found on the program webpages. Both the application as a doctoral candidate and the examination procedure are conducted by the Schools. They are independent of the participation in a program.Since 2008 joint regulations (PDF, 126,6 KB) apply for all doctoral candidates at the TU Berlin.

Library
The new common main library of the Technical University of Berlin and of the Berlin University of the Arts was opened in 2004 and holds about 2.9 million volumes (2007). The library building was sponsored partially (estimated 10% of the building costs) by Volkswagen and is named officially "University Library of the TU Berlin and UdK (in the Volkswagen building)". Confusingly, the letters above the main entrance only state "Volkswagen Library" – without any mentioning of the universities. All former 17 libraries of the Technical University of Berlin and of the nearby University of the Arts were merged into the new library, but several departments still retain libraries of their own. In particular, the school of 'Economics and Management' maintains a library with 340,000 volumes in the university's main building (Wirtschaftswissentschaftliche Dokumentation – WiWiDok).
The TU Library system is made up of the Central Library (Zentralbibliothek or "ZB") and five department libraries. It gives you access to more than 2.2 million printed books and digital items pertaining to all subjects taught at the University. Collections are especially strong in science and technology, the social sciences, humanities, architecture and environmental studies. Basic holdings for other subjects are available. The TU University Library also supports access to a worldwide range of printed and electronic information resources.
The TU Library serves the TU academic staff, students and alumni and is also open to the interested general public.

Short Outline of Library History
The library was established soon after the foundation of the Technische Hochschule Berlin and from 1884 until 2004 has been located in the university's main building (Hauptgebäude). During World War II, almost the entire collection of 250,000 volumes was destroyed and had to be completely replaced.
In 2004 the TU Main Library and several department libraries were joined to form the new Zentralbibliothek (Central Library) which opened in October 2004 in the newly constructed library building in Fasanenstraße. The Building was named "Volkswagen-Haus" as Volkswagen AG contributed EURO 5 million to its construction costs. Apart from the collections of the TU Central Library this building houses the Library of the University of the Arts (UdK).
