SW&D acts both operationally and in a promotional capacity and strives for long-term cooperation on an equal footing with its (potential) partners. In line with its foundation objective - the promotion of liberal democracy in the sense of the German Basic Law through political science approaches - SW&D is open to a wide range of forms of cooperation. Whether in the form of long-term institutional support, as with the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK)or through temporary and thematically limited projects, such as Events at Wall 40which are realised together with the foundation.
Particularly with regard to the Event area In addition to national and international partnerships, SW&D also welcomes cooperation with regional partners at the foundation's headquarters in Kiel. In any case, the foundation is keen to continuously expand its network of academics, political practitioners and civil society multipliers in order to jointly generate new impetus and promote dialogue.
In addition, the SW&D institutions also maintain their own cooperation partnerships, for example by participating in international research projects such as "Parliaments in the Pandemic (PiP)" of the Research Committee of Legislative Specialists (RCLS) of the International Political Science Association (IPSA) at the IParl. Further partnerships arise through our own events, such as the IParl's research colloquium or spring academy, cooperation with publishers and academics as well as practitioners from politics. Detailed information can be found on the respective online presences of the institutions.
Here you will find an overview of SW&D's current collaborations and funding partnerships.

SW&D has been providing institutional support to the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK) since 2016. The ISPK is SW&D's largest funding partner and has its offices at the foundation's headquarters.
Since 2020, the German Political Science Association (DGfP) and SW&D have jointly awarded the book prize "The Political Science Book" to honour outstanding monographs.
Since 2022, the Verfassungsblog has been publishing blog symposia with the support of SW&D and PRUF. The aim is to emphasise the importance of parliaments, free elections and parties as central elements of democracy in academic and public discourse.
Since 2022, SW&D has been funding the social science journal INDES, which, under new management, presents exciting research findings to a broad public. The journal enriches political and social debates with current topics and unconventional perspectives.
