On 1 July 1993 the Berghof Foundation for Conflict Research (founded in 1971 by Professor Georg Zundel of Munich) opened the Berghof Research Centre for Constructive Conflict Management in Berlin. The aim of the Centre is to develop and test constructive models for the management of ethno-national and socio-cultural conflicts in Europe, including third party mediation.
The newly established Research Centre will concern itself primarily with conflicts in the European area. The Centre’s work will concentrate on third party initiatives by social forces. However, account will also be taken of crisis intervention and conflict management at the bilateral and multilateral governmental level. In particular, the Centre’s work will cover four areas: 1. Research leading to the expansion and improvement of institutions, instruments, and ‘mechanisms’ for peaceful settlement of disputes. 2. The initiation, organisation, and evaluation of models for the constructive management of conflicts by third parties – in collaboration either with partners from the areas of tension concerned or with other mediators. 3. The provision of advice and further training through supervision, workshops, and seminars for the members of ‘third parties’ and for other inter-cultural mediators involved in constructive conflict-management. 4. Co-ordination and exchange of information with other research projects, initiatives, and institutions involved in conflict research and conflict management, with a view to building up a network for early warning, fact-finding, ‘good services’, consultation, and mediation.

The Center for International and European Law on Immigration and Asylum was founded in 1994 by Prof. dr Kay Hailbronner, who decided that the international and European frameworks of migration law deserve specific attention, and founded CIAL as a specialised research centre in this area of study.
CIAL uses the World Wide Web in order to present ideas and expert opinions to all decision-makers and interested people concerned with migration law and policy. Using the World Wide Web the employees of the Center hope to get in touch with other research facilities and people involved. The exchange of information and the electronic communication could be a suitable basis for an international discussion on migration policy.
Current projects include, among others: immigration control and human rights; the legal framework of a European migration policy; immigration and asylum law and policy in the European Union.
The Center produces Migration Law News, details of which can be found on the CIAL website.

The Institute is a charity organisation financed exclusively by the projects it carries out. These primarily include giving seminars and talks for institutions and projects on theories of racism, antiracist education and anti-discrimination policies. The Institute is currently developing new training methods and teaching programmes for both young and old.
Another part of the Institute’s work comprises research into different aspects of daily racism and discrimination: in institutions, at the workplace and, probably in the future, in city neighbourhoods. It serves as the German rapporteur for the European Union’s annual report on the situation of the migrant population from non-EU countries. The Institute has also drafted a proposal for anti-discrimination legislation and research which focused on young people’s daily lives in Hamburg and London will shortly give rise to a publication. The Institute also publishes Das Argument.

The Centre for Studies on Turkey was established as a model project by the German Foundation for Science and the Freudenberg Foundation on 1 October 1985, under the direction of Professor Dr Faruk Ÿ en. Today in addition to the founding institutions, various federal ministries and ministries of North-Rhine-Westphalia, as well as the University and the city of Essen, contribute to the Institute as sponsors. The CST aims to help raise the European public’s level of awareness of Turkey and of the position of Turkish immigrants, as well as to promote and intensify cooperation between the representatives of Turkey and the European countries for a common solution of problems. After moving its headquarters to Essen in 1991, the Institute has retained its office in Bonn, which now functions mostly as the editorial office of the journal of the Centre.
The Centre also opened an office in Brussels in April 1994 to serve as an information centre for other European countries. The Brussels office aims at providing a forum for the business and academic communities in Europe, Turkey, Central Asia and the Balkans.
