Research

The Leibniz Institute for Media Research │ Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) researches media-mediated public communication. A unique feature of the Institute’s media research is its interdisciplinary orientation: The Institute combines the perspectives of an empirically based social science with a legal science focused on regulatory processes.

The Institute combines the processing of long-term basic scientific questions with problem-oriented expertise for politics, business and civil society.

Its work is committed to the standards of scientific excellence and the principle of independent research. International networking through worldwide cooperation is a high priority.

The scientific profile of the Institute is shaped by its research programs. Program-related research is geared towards fundamental issues that are planned for a period of several years and are addressed through successive in-house and externally funded research.
