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, theCentre for Digital Governance, the Centre for Fundamental Rights, theJacques 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.
The Hertie School was founded by the Hertie Foundation, which is based inFrankfurt. The Hertie Foundation was named after the Hertie department store, which in turn was named after its founder Hermann Tietz (Her-Tie). The last owner of the Hertie department store provided the funds used to create the Hertie Foundation.
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 onFriedrichstrasse in Berlin.[9] The first study program offered was the Master of Public Policy (MPP).
