Topic areas

Region and Transformation

With our advice, expertise on indicators and monitoring as well as evaluations, we support administrations [and other stakeholders] in the preparation and implementation of funding policies aimed at balancing regional imbalances and strengthening socio-ecological transformations.

Work, Education and Integration

Work, education and integration are key requirements for successful coexistence. With our analyses, evaluations and consulting services, we support the development and implementation of specialist policy strategies and instruments.

Urban Development

Urban development is an ongoing task. We use monitoring, analyses and evaluations to generate findings for integrated approaches, including transformation and funding requirements. We are committed to the transfer of knowledge for sustainable urban development.

Housing

Housing is a human right. We use our interdisciplinary expertise to ensure that housing policies respond to social, economic and ecological challenges based on empirical evidence.
