ARL HQ

The ARL office, based in Hanover, coordinates and supports all of the academy's work.

It provides support in:

• the co-design phase of research projects,
• the co-production of knowledge,
• the organisation of events and publications,
• knowledge transfer and impact measurement.

It also ensures quality, transparency and openness in all processes – technical, organisational and administrative.

The administrative office consists of the Secretary General with four assigned staff units, six scientific departments and four departments with central service tasks. The latter are grouped together in the Central Department, which is headed by the Deputy Secretary General.
