Summary: Ladenburg Research Networks explore complex societal questions at the intersection of people, technology, and the environment.
The Daimler and Benz Foundation runs the Ladenburg Research Networks to examine important societal trends at the intersection of people, technology, and the environment. The funding line creates space for questions that resist simple answers, particularly when the interests of those involved appear to conflict.
The networks focus on issues shaped by the differing perspectives of consumers, businesses, policymakers, society, and the media. They also consider the time lag between decisions and their long-term consequences. Calls under this funding line are issued at irregular intervals and announced on the foundation’s website.
