MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Konrad Adenauer Foundation is related to the Christian Democratic movement. Having emerged from the 'Society for Christian<br />
Democratic Education Work' founded in 1956, it was named after the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic in 1964. We are guided<br />
by the same principles that inspired Adenauer's work. <strong>The</strong> Konrad Adenauer Foundation offers political education, conducts scientific<br />
fact-finding research for political projects, grants scholarships to gifted individuals, researches the history of Christian Democracy,<br />
and supports and encourages European unification, international understanding, and development-policy cooperation.<br />
Founding year 1956.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foundation runs about 60 offices abroad. Its activities include:<br />
