The research focus of the Hertie School, which has existed since its founding, lies in the analysis of the conditions, structures and dynamics of governance. [7]

Since 2018, the Hertie School has established five research centres (Centres of Competence) that focus on future key governance challenges: the Centre for International Security, the Centre for Digital Governance, the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the Jacques Delors Centre and the Centre for Sustainability (from 2021). Additionally, the School's Data Science Lab uses research in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle major societal problems.

History

The Hertie School was founded by the Hertie Foundation, located in Frankfurt. The Hertie foundation was named after the Hertie department store. Named after its founder Hermann Tietz (Her-Tie). The Hertie Foundation was founded with money coming from the last owner of the Hertie department store.

The school was established in 2003 as one of the first European professional schools for public policy. [8] Since 2008 it has been located in the Quartier 110 building on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. [9] The first study program offered was the Master of Public Policy (MPP). In 2015, the Master of International Affairs (MIA) was added. The Master of Data Science was set up in 2021.

In February 2005, the Hertie School was awarded state recognition as college of higher education by the Berlin Ministry of Science, Research, and Culture (Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur).

In October 2017, the Hertie School once again received full accreditation [10] to confer doctoral degrees for another ten years.

In February 2019, the Hertie School announced that it would move to the Robert Koch Forum from summer 2025 to enable its growth plans. The historic Robert Koch Forum is currently being renovated by the city of Berlin with a budget of 87 million euros. [11]
