The Institute for Development and Peace ("Institut für Entwicklung und Frieden" INEF) is operated by the Department of Philosophy and Social Sciences of the Gerhard Mercator University as a research institution providing scientific support for the Foundation for Development and Peace ("Stiftung für Entwicklung und Frieden" SEF). The Institute was founded in 1990 on the basis of a cooperation agreement between the Foundation for Development and Peace, initiated by the former chancellor Willy Brandt and the University of Duisburg. The goals of the Foundation and the Institute are:
- to investigate the interrelationships between development and peace, in particular in the Third World;
- to elucidate global interdependencies linking security, economy and ecology;
- to stimulate the national and international dialogue on global interdependencies and trends;
- to generate impulses for political action based on global responsibility in North and South, East and West;
- to provide public information and education on global trends and global governance.
