DIPF – Knowledge for Education
DIPF generates, indexes and transfers knowledge for education in order to support the development of solutions for current challenges in the education system. Under the umbrella of the Leibniz Association, together with other institutes, it forms the indispensable core of educational scientific competence in Germany.
Working at DIPF
Empirical educational research, scientific monitoring of educational reforms, or the provision of knowledge resources: at DIPF, it’s all about “knowledge for education“. At our two locations in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin, roughly 335 members of staff contribute to overcoming current and future challenges in education. To this end, DIPF receives funding from the federal government and from the federal states of Berlin and Hesse.
