The Einstein Foundation Berlin is a foundation based in Berlin, Germany "that aims to promote science and research of top international caliber in Berlin and to establish the city as a centre of scientific excellence."[1]
The foundation supports research in many fields beyond science, including linguistics, archeology, and political science. It gives out annual awards and sponsors various projects, including the "Einstein Center of Catalysis".
The Einstein Foundation Berlin is separate from the short-lived Albert Einstein Foundation for Higher Learning, Inc., founded in 1946.[2]
