Research at ASH Berlin
Research plays a key role in the development of ASH Berlin. Application-based research is aimed at developing and academically supporting innovations in professional practice in the fields of social care and healthcare. Engaging in this type of research is also essential to ensure that teaching and further training reflect the latest developments in the various disciplines.
In an environment characterized by a continual and bi-directional flow of knowledge between the university and professional practice, the primary emphasis is on implementing new approaches, processes or solutions to problems, which are fostered through close ties between the development of professional practices and scientific analysis
ASH Berlin supports the research activities of its professors in many ways: by providing funding, promoting the acquisition of external funding and entering into both regional and international research partnerships.
This strategy has proven to be highly successful: In the past ten years, research-related third-party funding expenditures at ASH Berlin have developed enormously. The amount of third-party funding acquired for research at ASH Berlin increased from € 1,391,000 in 2010 to € 2,463,000 in 2020. This development has been fueled, among other things, by the acquisition of a number of larger projects with a corresponding volume of third-party funding, collaborations in research alliances with universities and practice partners, and the funding from the Berlin Institute for Applied Research (IFAF Berlin).
Health and Health Care Research
Research in the field of health and healthcare lays the foundation for the innovative advancement and resource-conscious organization of the healthcare system. It examines structures and everyday challenges, contributing to high-quality care and the promotion of health for the entire population.

Alice Salomon Archive
Alice Salomon (1872-1948) founded one of the first schools for female social workers in the world. She had a decisive influence on the development of social work in practice, research, theory and education during the Weimar Republic.
The academic relevance of her work is increasingly being recognised, as reflected in research in the late 1990s. The Alice Salomon Archive of ASH Berlin is located in the former workspaces of Alice Salomon in Berlin-Schöneberg and its research is dedicated to her life and work.
