Reference to political topicality
We examine the forms, quality and challenges of democracy from the perspective of political science, law and political education/history didactics. With the Aarau Democracy Days, we regularly organize public events on academic topics related to current political issues. We also organize specialist conferences and provide scientific support for projects and events organized by our sponsoring institutions. The ZDA also develops teaching materials for political education and history didactics.
Strategic orientation
The research priorities for each three-year period are defined in the development plan.
Annual reports
We publish the annual reports every year. They appear in print, but can also be downloaded here.
