Prof. Dr. Dorothea Kübler, Chair of Microeconomics, was jointly appointed by TU Berlin and the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB)
How can a university gain access to outstanding scientific expertise and excellence? One solution is joint appointments with non-university research institutions. Technische Universität Berlin successfully cooperates with more than 26 institutes, in particular the [Leibniz Association](https://www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/en.html), [Helmholtz Association](https://www.helmholtz.de/en/), and the [Fraunhofer Society](https://www.fraunhofer.de/en.html) to offer such appointments.
When professors are jointly appointed by the University and a non-university research institution, the connection between university and non-university research strengthens the position of both institutions. Bilateral access to special research infrastructure, joint external funding proposals, and the positive effects on the advancement of doctoral candidates/junior scholars give rise to synergistic effects. The special research orientation of such professorships additionally enriches the University's teaching.
