The Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin (ASH Berlin) is the largest public university for Social Work, Health, and Education (SAGE) in Germany. Founded in 1971, the ASH Berlin is characterized by its practice-oriented and research-active approach.

• Study Programs: The ASH Berlin offers interdisciplinary study programs in the fields of Social Work, Health, and Education. These include bachelor's and master's degree programs as well as part-time continuing education offerings tailored to the needs of practice[2][3][4].
• Research: Application-oriented research is an integral part of the university. The ASH Berlin promotes scientific support and the development of new offerings in social, health-oriented, and educational practice[2][3].
• International Cooperation: The university is part of the Erasmus+ program and maintains a variety of international cooperations and partner universities, enabling the exchange and further education of staff and students[1][4].

The ASH Berlin is characterized by a strong commitment to diversity, gender mainstreaming, health promotion, family-friendliness, and cultural work. The university advocates for the academic recognition of SAGE professions to achieve greater recognition, decision-making powers, better pay, and doctoral rights for its graduates. Democratic participation and the inclusion of all university groups are central values[2][3].

• Diversity and Social Justice: The ASH Berlin has a strong focus on diversity and social justice. Projects such as EmpA (Anti-racism and Empowerment) and the Commission for Diversity and Social Justice contribute to improving the study experience and creating an inclusive environment[1].

• Sustainability: The Sustainability Office is currently being established and will coordinate initiatives and projects for sustainability at the university in the future[1].

• Working Area Intersectional Practice and Transformation (InPuT): This working area supports topics such as (gender) equality, anti-discrimination, anti-racism, empowerment, diversity, inclusion, and the compatibility of work and family[1].
• Mobile Working: The ASH Berlin offers flexible working models through a service agreement on alternating residential and telework to enable employees to design their work flexibly in terms of location and time[4].
