Abstract

In addition to its work with Berlin’s urban society and the so-called societies of origin, the cooperation of the Ethnological Museum within the framework of academic or scientific research projects plays an important role. Investigators from all over the world approach the museum for their own research. Also, the Ethnological Museum initiates its own cooperative projects. To this end, the team of the Ethnological Museum maintains an extensive international network of scientific contacts. Support for scientific research remains important. In addition to sufficient staffing, access to third-party funding and research grants is an indispensable prerequisite. The diversity of knowledge cultures, including academic knowledge, must be encouraged. Some of the cooperative projects are briefly presented.
