Mission & Goals
The European Institute for Multidisciplinary Studies on Human Rights and Sciences - Knowmad Institut - is an independent Think & Do tank based in Brandenburg, a voice for Human Dignity in public and private policies. We are recognized as a social interest company for the promotion of science and research. Our vision is to contribute to the promotion and fulfillment of the SDG`s, and thus to contribute to the construction of a sustainable, fair and multipolar world. We analyze reliable information in a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach that facilitates knowledge management, to educate and disseminate bold and innovative proposals that promote common solutions to global problems. We build bridges between civil society, academia, states, and the private sector. The construction of a solid evidence base allows us to better support decision-makers, opinion leaders and lobby/advocacy groups to explore and promote innovative initiatives based on human dignity, facts, and science.

Additional Information
The Knowmad Institut operates entirely through the voluntary contributions of its members, who dedicate their time and expertise without financial compensation. This structure eliminates personnel costs, allowing us to allocate our limited budget exclusively to essential operational expenses (e.g., administrative costs, web hosting, and outreach materials). Current funding is sustained through small donations from members and supporters, as well as in-kind contributions (e.g., donated office space, transport, meals). While this volunteer-driven model has enabled significant impact, we recognize the need to diversify funding sources. We are actively developing strategies to secure grants and partnerships, ensuring long-term sustainability and reducing reliance on unpaid contributions.
