Stiftung neue verantwortung ("new responsibility foundation") promotes interdisciplinary and cross-sector thinking across the most important social policy issues and challenges in the 21st century. With its Fellow and Associate programme, the foundation brings together young experts and pioneering thinkers from the fields of academia, business, politics, and society to develop creative ideas and potential solutions as part of fixed-term projects and to take these issues into the realm of public debate via various publication and event formats. Stiftung neue verantwortung is a not-for-profit, independent, and non-party political foundation.
