Zuse Institute Berlin

Zuse Institute Berlin is a medium-sized, non-university public research institute of the State of Berlin, with roughly 300 employees and an interdisciplinary, application-oriented character. Its infrastructure-centered model combines high-performance computing, research data services, and software development with close cooperation across Berlin’s university and scientific ecosystem. ZIB hosts Research Campus MODAL, a public-private partnership with Freie Universität Berlin and industrial partners that provides a structured route for collaborative R&D and researcher exchange. Funding comes from the German Research Foundation (DFG), German federal ministries, the State of Berlin, and industrial and service contracts, while development, consulting, and cooperation agreements support knowledge transfer.
