General Information
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is one of Germany’s biggest political foundations with some 1200 staff in Germany and worldwide. Its headquarters is in Berlin. It also has 18 education centres in Germany and around 100 country offices abroad. Our annual budget amounts to around 170 million Euro. We account publicly for our expenditures.

Mission and Objectives
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is related to the Christian Democratic movement. Having emerged from the 'Society for Christian Democratic Education Work' founded in 1956, it was named after the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic in 1964. We are guided by the same principles that inspired Adenauer's work.
Main Projects / Activities
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung offers political education, conducts scientific fact-finding research for political projects, grants scholarships to gifted individuals, researches the history of Christian Democracy, and supports and encourages European unification, international understanding, and development-policy cooperation.
