Fulbright U.S. Administrators in Germany Program

This evening we enjoyed a delicious meal at Habel am Reichstag, a restaurant built under the arches of an active railway bridge. Its location is much like the Hole in the Wall pub by Waterloo station, just more up market, but still with the constant rumble of the trains passing overhead.

The meal was a wonderful end to a day spent at the Technische Universität Berlin. TU Berlin is proud of its history in the British sector (and the visit of the Queen in 2015) and is one of the leading research universities (centers of excellence) in Germany. One of the speakers, Nadja Wisniewski, talked about the TU Berlin philosophy of an “alliance between technology and the humanities to meet the challenges of the future.” A philosophy that technology should always be used for the good of society and not for other purposes.
