The Goethe-Institut, which is active and well networked worldwide, can and wants to play its part here with its spheres of activity and working methods. Towards diversity, common understanding and trust. Our “Vision and Strategy 2026” reveals how the Goethe-Institut aims to achieve this in the next few years.

Studies on the subject of culture

  • Cover of the study Außenblick

    How is Germany viewed by the world? With the study “Außenblick – International perspectives on Germany in times of the Covid-19 pandemic”, DAAD, GIZ and Goethe-Institut want to approach this question. From the perspective of science, culture, economics and politics. A particular focus of the study is the corona pandemic, which affects all areas.
    More about the study on the project page.
  • Front page: Culture in an Age of Uncertainty report

    What value do cultural relations have? Can they help strengthen societies in transition? A new study with the British Council on the impact of cultural relations in transitional societies addressed these issues.
  • Culture works

    Can and should the effects of art and culture be evaluated? The Goethe-Institut has been investigating this question for several years under academic guidance. The result is this brochure.

Studies on the subject of language

  • Learning German for a life in Germany

    What role does knowledge of German play in the professional and social integration of foreign skilled workers? Is there a positive correlation between learning German and successful entry into the labour market? To answer these questions, the Goethe-Institut commissioned a brief analysis to evaluate scientific findings involving experts from the fields of language acquisition, integration and labour market policy.
  • Cover Fachkräftemangel

    What drives people who can imagine living and working in Germany? What motivates skilled workers to migrate to Germany - and what keeps them from doing so? What support do they need? To answer these questions, the Goethe-Institut together with the market research institute GfK conducted a survey of over 3,000 professionals in five countries.
  • Outreach that starts in the home country

    Immigration of skilled workers: Not only is the need for pre-integration presently greater than ever before, but also its benefits for later integration in Germany. A new study by the Goethe-Institut analyses pre-integration programmes for immigrant workers and provides specific recommendations for action.
  • Cover Deutsch lernen im Studium

    How do foreign students acquire the necessary language skills for their studies in Germany? This question is the focus of a study by the Goethe-Institut and CHE Consult. Recommendations can be derived from its results about how the increasing interest in German can be further strengthened.
  • Survey German as a Foreign Language 2020

    The Interest in the German language continues unabated: As the survey "German as a Foreign Language Worldwide" shows, more than 15.4 million people worldwide are learning German.
    More about the survey in German.
