Fields of Activity
As a meeting place and knowledge hub, the GDI has four main focuses of activity: it is a research centre and innovative think-tank, publishes the findings of its research in studies and the quarterly "GDI Impuls", organises conferences and is accessible to a broader public as a conference and meeting venue.
Experts from business and society meet regularly at the GDI to discuss current trends and future developments. Specialist meetings organised in cooperation with international partners and universities, and evening events dealing with society-related issues, provide further opportunities for exchanging views and experience.
