About German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS):
IDOS builds bridges between theory and practice and works within international research networks. The key to our success is our institutional independence, which is guaranteed by the Institute’s founding statute. Since its founding in 1964, IDOS work is based on the interplay between Research, Policy Advice and Training. These three areas complement each other and are the factors responsible for the Institute’s distinctive profile. The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) is headed by Director Prof. Dr. Anna-Katharina Hornidge. IDOS is member of the Johannes Rau Research Foundation.
