Stiftung Mercator

Centres

Stiftung Mercator is organized into three centres: science and humanities, education and international affairs. Each centre focuses its work on selected fields of activity, tracks conditions and developments in these fields, and is actively involved in shaping them. The following pages contain details of these fields of activity and the projects pursued by the three centres.

We have also defined three overarching thematic clusters that will further broaden the profile of Stiftung Mercator in the coming years: integration, climate change and arts education. In each of these clusters, we have set ourselves concrete, measurable targets. Further details can be found here.

Stiftung Mercator pursues its socio-political objectives in the context of the special and changing conditions of science and humanities, education and international affairs. Thus the centres determine their own fields of activity, while at the same time contributing to the achievement of the strategic targets in the thematic clusters.
