In order to actively shape social, economic and political change in the digital age, we operate liaison offices in Potsdam and Brussels. Our offices serve as platforms for exchange, cooperation and impact: we build targeted networks with relevant players from politics, business, education and civil society.

The aim of our work is to develop well-founded recommendations for action and guidance that have an impact not only in European politics, but also in society, business and education. We deliberately make the results of our projects and initiatives available to the general public so that as many people, organizations and educational institutions as possible can benefit from new findings, best practices and forward-looking developments.

1. Preserving and developing European values in the metaverse and in artificial intelligence: Fairness, diversity, transparency, equality, freedom, solidarity and democracy are cornerstones of our community. We want to actively transfer these values into the metaverse and digital reality, adapt them to new social and technological developments and continue to anchor them as binding standards.
   
   

2. Recognizing disruptive developments, seizing opportunities and ensuring social stability: Through initiatives such as SHIFT NOW – SHAPE TOMORROW and the Social Shift XR & AI for Human Impact projects, we promote early recognition of technological upheavals, support society in exploiting the opportunities that arise and counteract risks such as social division. Our aim is to ensure quality of life, sovereignty, transparency and legal clarity in the digital space too.
   
   
3. Strengthening education, awareness and European projects: With projects such as the education metaverse initiative and the Impact Field Trips we actively support education and innovation projects in Europe. We inform business, politics and society about the far-reaching implications of immersive technologies and advocate for an informed and self-determined European public.
   
   
4. Securing fundamental rights in the digital space: With the initiative AIMEthix initiative, we are promoting a broad social discussion about fundamental rights in the context of the metaverse and AI. We are laying the foundations to protect Europe from being overwhelmed by non-European values and technologies. This requires strong partnerships and a committed foundation – because the future is already a reality.

Support our mission for a value-based digital Europe!

Our work at the interface of society, education, business and politics lays the foundations for a digital future in line with Europe’s values: fairness, diversity, transparency, equality, freedom, solidarity and democracy.

With our initiatives – from educational programs and innovation projects to European recommendations for action – we make results publicly accessible so that society, business and education can benefit equally. We want to ensure that fundamental European values are also preserved and further developed in the metaverse and in artificial intelligence.
