OPEN HUMBOLDT is an open "learning" initiative that thrives on versatile impulses, ideas and advice. In October 2020, the OPEN HUMBOLDT Advisory Board was appointed. The ten members accompany and advise Humboldt-Universität in its strategy development process based on their experience in science research, science communication, public engagement and their expertise at the interface of future scientific topics and socially relevant research.

With the help of this external know-how we aim to develop new formats and projects and reflect on the impact of existing activities. In addition, the OPEN HUMBOLDT Advisory Board focuses on a sustainable implementation and development of the third mission as a new area of performance of the university.
