“Talking to each other, not about one another.” In the “International Politics” area, and true to the motto of our founder Kurt A. Körber, we are committed to dialogue and understanding in international politics. With our projects and publications, our aim is to create spaces for reflection and to promote an exchange between different stakeholders from politics, civil society, science and business.

By means of conferences, dialogue formats and through our publications, we aim to help develop solutions to global challenges.
