The Berlin Office is committed to the transfer of knowledge in various formats. Together with partners from science, civil society and politics, the Berlin Office organises public discussions on the current research of IFSH at irregular intervals. In addition, there are regular event formats and series specifically aimed at politicians and experts.

Representing the institute in the capital, the office also provides important support for the IFSH in Hamburg. The staff of the Berlin Office observe parliamentary processes, approach political decision-makers and interact with the Berlin think tank community.

Event Formats

IFSH Briefing: In this series, IFSH presents current research results in confidential background discussions with representatives from government and parliament as well as experts from academia and think tanks. The focus is on the discussion of political recommendations for action with various decision-makers.

IFSH Parliamentary Briefing: Within the framework of this exchange format, IFSH scientists make their expertise available exclusively to members of the German Bundestag and their staff.

Disarmament Briefing: Here experts and political decision-makers discuss current issues of disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation in a confidential setting.
