Einstein Institute of Berlin

Einstein Institute of Berlin was a research center established in 1917 by physicist Albert Einstein, primarily focusing on theoretical physics and mathematics. It aimed to investigate fundamental questions about the nature of space, time, and gravity, contributing significantly to the development of modern physics. The institute attracted prominent scientists and facilitated collaborations that advanced Einstein’s theories, including general relativity. After Einstein’s departure in 1933 due to the Nazi regime, the institute continued its work under different leadership. Today, its legacy persists through ongoing research in theoretical physics and the history of science.
