Application-oriented research is an elementary component of practice-oriented teaching, which is a hallmark of the UE's educational model. At the heart of our research is the concept of "human-centred innovation". Human in this context means ethical, sustainable and experience-oriented. For the UE, this means pursuing an interdisciplinary and agile research strategy that adapts to market requirements and enables innovative combinations of research content.

The Career Centre offers regular workshops on business start-ups and corresponding specialist lectures. In addition, the topic plays a central role in many lectures.

At the Berlin campus, there is a Diversity Task Force that brings together an interdisciplinary team of staff (administration and professors) spanning the faculties. Students and staff can turn to the Task Force in the event of discrimination. Any form of discrimination is condemned at the UE and appropriate action will be taken.
