How to become a supporting member
The Society for the Advancement of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy is an independent and non-profit association, set up to support the Kiel Institute in its mission. Members of the Society are individual persons, companies and federations willing to support the Kiel Institute as an internationally important economic research institute and as a think tank for global economic questions.
As further goals, the Society encourages close contacts between its members and the Kiel Institute researchers to strengthen the co-operation between business and scientific communities and facilitates new business connections among its members.
We offer four membership options: Individual, Company, Company Premium, and Alumni. We use the donations and membership fees to support projects of various research centers as well as activities for which no government funding is available.
