Policy advice, political edu­cation, media infor­mation and the dialogue with society are central tasks of the insti­tute.

We understand knowledge transfer as a dialogue: We convey research insights to practitioners and make recommen­dations. In turn, we integrate stimuli from the dialogue with society and policy-making into our work.

Our instruments for knowledge transfer are manifold: classical print publications, blogs, podcasts, videos, partici­pation in parliamentary and ministerial hearings, presen­tations and panel discussions.

In addition to our head­quarters in Frankfurt am Main, we also have a Berlin office at the Leibniz Association. We inform and advise repre­sentatives, parliaments, ministries and agencies at the state and federal levels. Moreover, we are involved in training early-career diplomats.
