Dear friends of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation,

Unfortunately, the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic has severe impacts on our lives. Therefore, after careful consideration to protect our employees and our guests, it was decided that only rare face-to-face meetings will take place in exceptional circumstances and only when preventive measures against Covid 19 are strictly implemented. With this procedure we follow the assessments of relevant institutions and ask for your understanding.

For reasons of health protection, the majority of our employees will work from home with immediate effect and are reachable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
