Fifteen years of groundbreaking research. That’s the legacy of IRIS Adlershof. Right here before us stands a testament to scientific collaboration. This isn’t just a building. It’s the Integrative Research Institute for the Sciences. Founded in 2009 it was Humboldt University’s first such institute. IRIS Adlershof pushed the boundaries of knowledge. It connected core competencies with industry partners. It fostered the growth of young scientists. Think hybrid materials and functional systems. Think space-time-matter. Big Data Quantum Technology Catalysis. These were just some of the areas explored within these walls. The institute’s innovative temporary structure proved hugely successful. It even led to the creation of the Center for the Science of Materials Berlin and the Kolleg Mathematik Physik Berlin. These initiatives laid the groundwork for interdisciplinary research on the Adlershof campus. IRIS Adlershof didn’t just conduct research. It built a foundation. A foundation for future scientific breakthroughs. A legacy that will continue long after its official closure in October 2024. So as we stand here let’s acknowledge the remarkable contributions of IRIS Adlershof. Its impact resonates far beyond this building. It’s a story of collaboration innovation and a commitment to scientific advancement. A story we will remember for years to come.
