Europa-Kolleg Hamburg
The Europa-Kolleg Hamburg was founded in 1953 and is organised as a foundation under private law. The foundation’s purpose is to stimulate and promote research and academic teaching on Europe and European issues. It maintains a residential complex for international students and researchers in Groß Flottbek. It also provides the ‘Institute for European Integration’ with a building and the necessary administrative and financial framework.
The ‘Institute for European Integration’ is a research institution at the University of Hamburg. It conducts interdisciplinary research on Europe and European issues. The Institute offers researchers the opportunity to explore research questions and carry out their projects within an international academic exchange. Through publications, lectures and events, the Institute contributes to academic debate and makes its research accessible to a wider public.
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) Peace and Security, 2) Economy and 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.
