Beschreibung
The Hertie School of Governance (HSoG) was founded in 2003 as one of the first German professional schools for public policy. It is a project of the Hertie Foundation, located in Frankfurt / Main. In February 2005, the HSoG was awarded state recognition as an institution of higher learning by the Berlin Ministry of Science, Research, and Culture (Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur). The Hertie School of Governance prepares exceptionally talented students and young professionals for leadership roles in today's rapidly changing world. Globalisation, the changing role of states, and many other factors are redefining the issues of modern governance at a tremendous pace. As a result, any meaningful understanding of contemporary leadership demands new approaches. Thanks to its innovative teaching and research programmes, the HSoG is uniquely positioned to address the complexities of a transnational world.
