Statement by Institute Director Prof. Alexander Böker: "The Fraunhofer IAP stands for an open-minded Brandenburg – for diversity, tolerance and democracy! We send a clear signal for an open, inclusive and fair society in which there is room for all people – regardless of their origin, skin color or beliefs.

For us, preserving and promoting our democracy is not just a task, but a responsibility that we pursue with determination. We are convinced that science and research can only thrive in a diverse democratic society and in international exchange. Both hold enormous innovative and creative potential.

This commitment is not only an expression of our convictions, but also an invitation to everyone to join us on this path – for a coexistence characterized by respect, openness and equal opportunities – both in Brandenburg and beyond!"
