Research

In the field of research, the Academy combines long-term fundamental research with the development of reliable knowledge and data infrastructures. Its guiding principle is the combination of excellence with cultural responsibility: accessing sources, preserving knowledge, making it digitally accessible, and applying it to new research questions. Working in an interdisciplinary and independent manner, it engages in dialogue with society and the political sphere, supports early-career researchers and, through transparent communication, strengthens trust in science and democracy. It also creates spaces for dialogue and consultation on controversial issues of the future and prioritises deliberative classification over prescriptive guidelines.
