Project Office
The daily work of the Humboldt Institution on Transatlantic Issues is carried out by a project office.
Dr. Tim Stuchtey, who established the Institution in his capacity as Chief of Staff of the president's office at Humboldt-Universität, serves as the institution's administrative head. He advises the coordinator, James Griffin, who is directly responsible for the preparation and organization of the institution's activities.
The project office is located in the main building of the Humboldt-Unversität zu Berlin, in central Berlin on the boulevard Unter den Linden and ten minutes walk from Friedrichstrasse train station. When leaving the station, walk south on Friedrichstrasse for two blocks and left onto Unter den Linden. The University is three blocks down on the left-hand side.
