Zeit-Stiftung Ebelin Und Gerd Bucerius ZEIT-STIFTUNG EBELIN UND GERD BUCERIUS RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP Promoting Knowledge The Foundation provides scholarships for gifted young academics engaged in international and interdisciplinary projects. Research funding is the foundation‘s largest area of investment, and is focused on law studies, the humanities, and social sciences. The Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, founded by the ZEIT-Stiftung, is the first private law school in Germany. The ‘Trajectories of Change’ program provides funding for postgraduate researchers in the humanities and social sciences to examine historical and current transitions in the European periphery. The summer academy ‘History Takes Place – Dynamics of Urban Change’, brings together young historians, art histori- ans, architects, and city planners, as well as participants from other fields in the humanities and social sciences, to examine urban change in the metropolis. The foundation initiated the Bucerius Institute for Research of Contemporary German History and Society at the University of Haifa, Israel. The Bucerius Law School Campus ART AND CULTURE Enriching the Cultural Landscape The ZEIT-Stiftung initiates and supports a wide range of cultural institutions and events in Hamburg and beyond: The Bucerius Kunst Forum offers its visitors four attractive exhibitions every year, complemented by an extensive cultural program. There are also collaborative exhibitions with museums in and around Hamburg. The foundation provides funding for the preservation of East Germany’s cultural heritage, in particular its church architecture. Further investment is directed at making permanent museum collections in North and East Germany accessible and attractive to visitors. The foundation supports cultural diversity by providing funding for the Literaturhaus Hamburg and the theatre festival ‘Lessingtage’ at the Thalia Theater Hamburg, as well as for a range of music festivals in North Germany: the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Festspiele Mecklenburg- Vorpommern, the Sommerliche Musiktage Hitzacker, and the Elbjazz Festival. Funding for music and theatre is centred on gifted young artists. The literary series ‘Erfahren, woher wir kommen’ provides readings of excerpts of canonical narrative texts together with commentaries. Experiencing all the arts at the Bucerius Kunst Forum EDUCATION AND TRAINING Developing Competencies The project WEICHENSTELLUNG with its motto ‘gut geht besser’ (‘good works best’) helps year-four elementary pupils on their way towards secondary education. The ZEIT-Stiftung brings together parents, teachers, and student mentors to help ease the pupils‘ transition to a grammar school or local secondary school. ‘Coolness’ training sessions as well as a ‘Hip Hop Youngster Camp’ teach children to work as part of a team and respect each other. Together with other charitable foundations in Hamburg, the ZEIT-Stiftung supports volunteering projects in aid of refugees, and provides cultural access for newly-arrived immigrants. Lifelong learning is the key to improving people‘s life chances and employment opportunities; this is especially rel- evant in view of demographic change. The foundation sup- ports the development of intelligent concepts for extending working lives. The Transatlantic Academy fosters transatlantic exchange and facilitates mutual understanding and knowledge on a permanent basis, and is thus able to provide well-founded policy advice. A comprehensive concept for early learning is realized in the Bucerius KiTa, the law school day-care center. Trainee teachers – open to new experiences in schools Left: WEICHENSTELLUNG promotes success at school POLITICS AND SOCIETY Facilitating Mutual Understanding The foundation promotes debates on current, pressing issues through its events series ‘ZEIT-Stiftung aktuell’, ‘Zur Sache, Hamburg’, and others. It thereby encourages discussions about controversial political and social develop- ments, and examines the contributions and positions surrounding topical issues. The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance and the Asian Forum on Global Governance address global chal- lenges. These conventions provide inspiration and network- ing opportunities for international young leaders with a view to promoting good governance. The ZEIT-Stiftung supports media and journalists in Eastern European countries. The Gerd Bucerius Prize Free Press of Eastern Europe encourages independent media and courageous journalists in areas where freedom of speech and freedom of the press are under threat. ‘Zur Sache, Hamburg’ – Debates with active audience participation INITIATIVE .VERNETZT# Networked Thinking The initiative .vernetzt# is a futures lab. The laboratory leads inquiries into the digital development of the future. In recent years, digitization has become a driving force for social, economic, political, and cultural change. What then are the implications of digital change for democracy, the economy, and our culture? Which opportunities, possible consequences and creative solutions are opened up? The independent, open-outcome lab intends to provide impulses and contributions to the debate, and examine opportunities for action in order to enrich the social discourse on digital change. The inquiry will center on such questions as to whether the Californian digital culture calls for a European response, how digitization should develop in order to benefit society instead of posing threats, which best practices are available, and whether technological digital development can lead to social advancement. Initiative .vernetzt# – real and digital encounters Management games for good governance – just one element in the Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance THE FOUNDER Gerd Bucerius (1906–1995) – Politician, Businessman, Journalist Gerd Bucerius, born in 1906 in Westphalia, successfully straddled a career in politics, business, and publishing. Having completed his law studies, Gerd Bucerius began his career as a judge in Kiel. The lawyer, who under the Nazi regime took on Jewish clients, embarked on a political career in 1945. In 1949 he was elected to the first German Bundestag Parliament, and served until 1962. His publishing career began in 1946, the year in which he founded DIE ZEIT; he later also published the magazine ‘Stern’. Throughout his life, Gerd Bucerius continued to exert his influence on the newspaper Die ZEIT as publisher, adviser, and journalist. As a benefactor, Gerd Bucerius made substan- tial investments in his chosen home town Hamburg, particu- larly in gifted young people. Upon his death on 29 September 1995, his estate fell to the not-for-profit foundation he had established in 1971. THE ZEIT-STIFTUNG EBELIN UND GERD BUCERIUS The ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius supports the development of civil society. The independent, not-for-profit foundation aims to promote knowledge, enrich the cultural landscape and invest in key competencies. Funding is focused on research and scholarship, art and culture, education and training, politics and society as well as the initiative .vernetzt#. Its flagship institutions are the Bucerius Law School in Hamburg, founded in 2000, and the Bucerius Kunst Forum, founded in 2002 in the heart of the Hanseatic city.

    Long Distance Friends Is Fundraising in the United States the Right Move? - A Five-Point Checklist By Gisela Keller Translation of a German article that appeared in Stiftung und Sponsoring in October 2006 The candles on the elegant Park Avenue dinner table cast a soft glow on the influential guests engaged in conversation as Ortrud Westheider, the Art Director of the Hamburg-based Bucerius Kunst Forum, hosts a recent “Friendraising Dinner” in New York. She seeks to raise visibility and financial support from individuals, collectors, foundations and companies for her American Art from 1800 – 1950 project. Three years ago when the Museum embarked on finding U.S. donors for their exhibition trilogy that will open in Hamburg, Vienna und Zurich starting in 2008 the term “Friendraising Dinner” was pretty novel. That’s different today. In light of diminishing state support overseas for arts, culture, science and education the strong U.S. culture of philanthropy increasingly attracts international nonprofit leaders’ attention. “When talking with German clients I notice that interest in international fundraising is rising. Yet, nonprofit management tends to be oblivious to the fact that it is relatively simple to create the technical and legal framework that will allow them to qualify for US donations - and to attain tax exemption for U.S. donations,” comments Steffen Lang, Relationship Manager at Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management in New York. Tax exemption is a prerequisite for fundraising in the United States. International organizations have a couple of options: It can be advisable to set up a Donor-Advised Fund via an organization such as the King Baudouin Foundation United States or Charities Aid.

  • A Guide for Holders of the International Association of Art Card Prepared with Contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská Výtvarná Únia) 2017
    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.

It is home to over 16,300 works of art, complemented by the National Portrait Collection, as well as research facilities dedicated to the study of Irish art. The collection ranges in date from the fourteenth century to the present day comprising paintings, sculpture and works on paper spanning the history of Western European art, from Renaissance masters Fra Angelico and Paolo Uccello to Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. The Gallery’s most prominent holdings relate to the Irish collection with works by Nathaniel Hone, Thomas Roberts, Daniel Maclise, Roderic O’Conor, William Orpen, John Lavery, Louis le Brocquy, among others. Particularly popular are the works of William Leech, Paul Henry and Jack B. Yeats, whose extensive archive is housed at the Gallery. More recently the Gallery has significantly enhanced its research facilities with the opening of the Sir Denis Mahon Reading Room. The permanent collection is free to the public and the Gallery welcomes large numbers of Irish and overseas visitors each year. Four wings of the Gallery, built between 1864 and 2002, accommodate a growing collection. As part of the Master Development Plan (MDP) a major refurbishment project of the Dargan and Milltown wings on Merrion Square is currently underway and scheduled to reopen with a new presentation of the collection in 2017.
