Konrad Adenauer Foundation
- Konrad Adenauer Foundation
The Konrad Adenauer Foundation ("Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung") (KAS) is a German research foundation associated with that country's Christian Democratic Union. It was founded in 1956 as the "Society for Christian Democratic Education Work" and renamed after the former Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in 1964. The foundation has its seat in Wesseling near Bonn.
It is the largest of the politically affiliated research foundations in Germany, with an annual budget of around €100 million, most of which it receives from government. It funds policy research, in the mould of a think tank, but the larger part of its sponsorship is research in the social sciences not directly connected to framing policy.
The other parties in Germany also use the legal form of a foundation for support and public relation purpose. The other foundations are:
* Hanns Seidel Foundation (CSU)
* Friedrich Ebert Foundation (SPD)
* Friedrich Naumann Foundation für die Freiheit (FDP)
* Heinrich Böll Foundation (Grüne)
* Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (Die Linke).
On December 5, 2007, Ateneo de Manila University President, Fr. Bienvenido Nebres, SJ, launced “Frontline Leadership,” a book project of the Ateneo School of Government (sponsored by German foundation Konrad Adenauer Stiftung) was written by several authors. He stated: “I look forward to the future when the next President of the Philippines does not come from the Senate but from [the ranks of] mayors or governors; I do hope that a next generation of leaders will emerge and see local leadership as the wave of the future.” The book narrates the performances of 4 former local officials, an unnamed female governor in the Visayas and one incumbent: Naga Mayor and Ramon Magsaysay awardee Jesse Robredo, former San Fernando, La Union Mayor Mary Jane Ortega, former Bulacan Gov. Josie de la Cruz, and former Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers.
