We are convinced that science never stands alone, but is always reflected in society and should therefore also be developed in its service and together with it. Particularly for our topics, which deal with social interaction at the regional, national and global level and look at which actions have which effects and how technologies should, may and can influence this interaction, the exchange with politics and with various institutions is essential. This is the basis for our analyses and recommendations – and it is important to us that these are also received by the respective stakeholders.

To this end, we work with partner organisations, affiliated universities, institutions and scientists and are guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all their diversity. Our results should be translated and subsequently debated for decision-makers on the one hand and for society on the other.
