Berlin is considered the capital of science - and Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin is part of it: Prof. Dr. Dr. Hürrem Tezcan-Güntekin, Professor of Interprofessional Action Approaches with a focus on qualitative research methods in public health, was named one of the 100 most important minds in Berlin Science 2025 by the Tagesspiegel.
The editorial team honors personalities who are shaping the science of the future with innovative research, excellent teaching and social commitment. Prof. Tezcan-Güntekin is highlighted for her work on socially just and inclusive healthcare: "She is committed to healthcare that takes into account the realities of life for older people, migrants or those affected by violence. She also conducts research into the prevention and health promotion of family caregivers, for whom she is developing an online support service." The article also highlights the fact that her involvement in the expert commission for the German government's 9th Ageing Report has made the diverse life situations of older people visible - a contribution of great social relevance, especially in current debates about care and pensions.
