Europa-Kolleg Hamburg
The Europa-Kolleg Hamburg is an internationally recognised educational and research institution in the field of integration research. With the Institute for European Integration and two Master's degree programmes, it offers an outstanding interdisciplinary platform for research, teaching and study in the field of European Studies. Renowned lecturers, a specialised library, interesting projects, events and publications as well as the adjoining residential complex create an intellectually inspiring environment for all students.
The Europa-Kolleg was founded in 1953 and is organised as a foundation under private law. The purpose of the foundation is to promote research and academic teaching in the field of European integration and international co-operation. The Foundation contributes to the financing of the College and fulfils all related administrative tasks. The Foundation is managed by an honorary Board of Directors and advised by a Board of Trustees.
Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung
The Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung commemorates one of the most important German statesmen of the 20th century and, as a future-orientated think tank, addresses issues that also moved Schmidt as a thought leader. Three overarching themes are at the centre of the foundation's programme: 1) Europe and international politics, 2) global markets and social justice and 3) democracy and society.
Closely linked to these programme lines, the permanent exhibition "Schmidt! Living Democracy" in Hamburg's city centre reflects almost a century of German and international contemporary history. It categorises the work of its namesake in current and historical contexts. In the Helmut Schmidt Archive in Hamburg-Langenhorn, the Foundation makes the private documents of Schmidt and his wife Loki available to researchers and grants the public access to the Schmidts' former private home.
