Goals / Remit
The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (Institut für Weltwirtschaft, IfW), founded in 1914 and established as a foundation under public law in 2007, is an international center for research in global economic affairs, economic policy consulting, and economic education. The Institute engages especially in creating solutions to urgent problems in global economic affairs. On basis of its research, the Institute advises decision makers in policy, business, and society and informs the broader public about important developments in international economic policy. The Institute also lays a special focus on economic education. The Institute cooperates closely with the Christian-Albrechts University Kiel, with the Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (ZBW) as the world's largest library in economic and social sciences and with a network of International Research Fellows.

Complementary Information
We are a Research Institute, with about 50 researchers (out of more than 100 researchers in total) researching in the above mentioned fields with higher or lower shares of their working time. With the results of our research, we wish and hope to influence the public and policy makers, without, however, engaging in lobbying in a narrow sense. We also dispose of a public relations department, which addresses its work to all public and all policy makers, not only those of the EU. So, it depends on the definition applied whether we have 50 or close to zero persons working in these fields.

The Mercator Dialogue on Migration and Asylum (MEDAM; www.medam-migration.eu) is a research and policy advisory project. It identifies and closes gaps in existing research and develops specific recommendations for policy makers from an independent European perspective. Research partners are the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), the Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute (EUI), and the European Policy Centre (EPC).
The Dialogue on the Economics of Climate Change (www.klimadialog.de) creates a platform for exchange between stakeholders from politics, society and business, and researchers. Funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research, 29 research consortia address questions at the intersection of climate change, economy, and society. The Dialogue facilitates knowledge exchange and cooperation between economists and stakeholders to strengthen the practical relevance of climate economic research and increase its visibility in the social discourse.
Horizon Europe projects:
RETHINK-GSC: The IfW coordinated project uses innovative methods to analyze the effects of global supply chains (GSCs) and develops new methodologies to quantify the role of knowledge flows and service inputs. The aim of the RETHINK-GSC is to capture the increasing importance of intangibles in global production and to provide new insights into ongoing and expected changes in global production processes.
DYNAMIG: The IfW coordinated project will focus on Africa as the most significant future region of origin for migrants to Europe. The project will explore the relationship between the decision-making behaviour of potential and actual migrants and migration policies at the micro, meso and macro level. Specifically, DYNAMIG will extend existing conceptualisations of migration decision dynamics and test them through innovative methods. It will also develop a mobile device tool for online choice experiments to causally study aspiration formation across different contexts and stages of migration.
Horizon2020 projects:
ITFLOWS: Through the ITFLOWS project, migration experts develop migration forecasting models built on various data sources to provide accurate forecasts and make these available to relevant user groups. They also research the economic and social integration conditions as well as their impact on citizens' attitudes. An online tool will help to monitor and anticipate adverse developments, aiding decision makers to reduce tensions between host populations and refugees. The Kiel institute is one of 14 partners participating. Project start: 09/2020.
OceanNETS: The project OceanNETs examines the feasibility, risks and benefits of ocean-based negative emission technologies (NETs) to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. 14 institutions participate in the project; with researchers at the Kiel Institute exploring socioeconomic factors like carbon accounting, public perceptions and their influence on the feasibility of marine NETs. Project start: 06/ 2020
Weltwirtschaftlicher Preis (Global Economy Prize): The Kiel Institute, jointly with the City of Kiel and the Kiel Chamber of Commerce, awards the Global Economy Prize annually to an economist, a politician, and a businessperson who have made an outstanding contribution to establishing a just and protective society based on individual initiative and responsibility. The prize is meant to honor those who have proposed creative, pathbreaking initiatives to deal with globalization.Other activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
