The Alfried Krupp Institute for Advanced Study in Greifswald (in German: Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald) is an institute for advanced study named after Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. On 20 June 2000, this institute was founded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, the German Land (federal state) of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the University of Greifswald.
These three founders (represented respectively, by Berthold Beitz, Peter Kauffold and Jürgen Kohler) co-established and contributed to the Stiftung Alfried Krupp Kolleg Greifswald (Alfried Krupp Kolleg Greifswald Foundation), which was entrusted with the task of establishing this Wissenschaftskolleg (institute for advanced study). The Krupp Foundation contributed the plot of land and the building on it, valued at €15.3m, while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the University of Greifswald contributed the operational funding that initially amounted to €4.1m.
The Insititute's Board of Trustees (Kuratorium) is composed of two representatives of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation; Minister for Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; and the Rector (President) of the University of Greifswald.
