The communication of the research results is an important part
of the function the WZB has defined for itself. The organization
also sees its responsibility not only in disseminating the results within the scientific
community but in making them available to a broader audience as
well. In addition to the customary publications in books and journals, the information is
channeled mainly through conferences; colloquia; contacts with representatives
of decisionmakers, policy-makers, the media, and the interested public; and through
scientific consulting in various organizations and bodies.
