Knowledge Transfer at the Institute for Socioeconomics
Communicate socio-economic topics and contexts
In addition to research and teaching, the Institute of Socioeconomics is also active in the consistent transfer of knowledge. In this way, the Institute fulfills its responsibility to make research of societal relevance accessible to a broader public and to develop innovative teaching formats for conveying socioeconomic expertise. Knowledge transfer is aimed at the scientific community and students, as well as at media professionals, politics, administration, business and civil society, socio-economic educators and the general public.
