About us

HumanKind

The Humboldt Science Centre for Child Development brings together researchers, practitioners, communities and policy makers to answer fundamental questions for human well-being.

Research

From thesis to realisation

What are the foundations for positive development and mental health in children? And how can we help every child to realise their full potential? These are the core questions of our research.

Intervention

From science to practice

We translate our scientific findings into customised interventions for children, adolescents and their caregivers.

Transfer

From science to politics and society

We are committed to ensuring that our research and interventions are made accessible to politicians, decision-makers and society both nationally and internationally.

Training

Training and further education

With our Master's degree programmes and academic qualification positions, we offer professional training and further education opportunities in the areas of research, teaching and research-informed practice and transfer.
