The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald is an independent academic institution in the centre of the traditional university and Hanseatic city near the Baltic Sea.

The Alfried Krupp Fellows Programme, which is at the heart of the Kolleg's work, was established in 2007 and has since been carried out with the generous support of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation.
