Institutional Cooperations

Internationalization and Cooperations

Europeanization and globalization are intertwining the German economy and society with international partners – which is why DIW Berlin's research, consulting, infrastructure and personnel policy increasingly reflect international perspectives. DIW Berlin is expanding its role as a European-oriented institution in an international environment, creating attractive conditions for internationally mobile researchers and is increasingly active on the international job market. The networking of the institute within and outside of Berlin, nationally and internationally, disciplinary and interdisciplinary as well as with universities, other Leibniz institutions and other non-university research institutions will be further promoted. Among the formal and informal cooperation partners are for example the London School of Economics and Political Science, the University of Copenhagen, the University of Gothenburg, the Charles University, the Pompeu Fabra University, the Paris School of Economics or the Ohio State University.

DIW Berlin measures itself against international scientific standards and integrates these into its work and quality assurance. The large number of collaborations with foreign universities and non-university institutions, particularly project-based collaborations, is of great importance for the Institute's work. In addition to institutional and project-related cooperations, the research departments of DIW Berlin and SOEP are integrated into corresponding subject-specific networks - cooperations that are particularly important in the development of national and international standards for panel surveys or in the context of EU research projects.
