3 years ago[Automatic translation follows] Strengthening democracy - researching the brain
The work of the Hertie Foundation focuses on two key issues: brain research and strengthening democracy. The foundation’s programmes and initiatives provide best-practice examples and inspiration within these areas. In order to act freely and put our founder’s intentions into practice using contemporary methods, the Hertie Foundation generally runs its own projects, but it also provides funding support. The focus is always on people and on making tangible improvements to their living conditions.
The work of the Hertie Foundation focuses on two key issues: researching the brain and strengthening democracy. The foundation’s programmes and initiatives provide model impulses within these topics. In order to act freely and implement the founder’s wishes in a contemporary way, the Hertie Foundation is primarily involved in operational projects of its own, but also awards grants. The focus is always on people and the concrete improvement of their living conditions.
The non-profit Hertie Foundation was founded in 1974 by the heirs of department store owner Georg Karg and is today one of the largest ideologically independent and business-independent foundations in Germany. The name "Hertie"
goes back to Hermann Tietz, co-founder of the department store group of the same name at the end of the 19th century.

Die Arbeit der Hertie-Stiftung konzentriert sich auf zwei Leitthemen: Gehirn erforschen und Demokratie stärken. Die Programme und Initiativen der Stiftung setzen modellhafte Impulse innerhalb dieser Themen. Um frei zu agieren und den Stifterwillen zeitgemäß umzusetzen, engagiert sich die Hertie-Stiftung vor allem operativ mit eigenen Projekten, vergibt aber auch Fördergelder. Im Fokus steht dabei immer der Mensch und die konkrete Verbesserung seiner Lebensbedingungen.
