Deutsche Post World Net sponsors IZA research

Deutsche Post World Net, a company with around 500,000 employees worldwide, is Germany's largest employer. A successful combination of traditional postal services with innovative services in the e-commerce sector places Deutsche Post in an ideal position to meet the challenges of globalization. As a "bridge between the Old and the New Economy", Deutsche Post World Net has become the number one logistics company worldwide.

With the foundation of IZA, Deutsche Post created a unique institution in the German and European research scenes. Owing to the financial support of the Deutsche Post Foundation, IZA researchers enjoy ideal working conditions as well as financial and ideological independence. In addition to IZA, Deutsche Post also sponsors the Bonn Graduate School of Economics at the University of Bonn.

This form of private research sponsoring chosen by Deutsche Post has already proven enormously successful in the case of IZA. The dynamic nature of the company is reflected in the work at our institute which, for its part, focuses on quality, internationalization, and future orientation to achieve a top position in labor economics worldwide.
