In addition to our formats and consulting services, DUCAH is, above all, a human-centered research center—operating close to real-world practice and supported by an extensive scientific network. We collaborate closely with national and international universities, institutes, and research organizations to pursue a shared goal: advancing research in healthcare, care, and social services, generating evidence of effectiveness, and developing as well as implementing future-oriented solutions.

At the same time, we see it as our responsibility not only to support research itself but also to make scientific insights more accessible and practical for our partners and clients. In doing so, we enable effective knowledge transfer into the social sector.

Our experience includes, for example, research and delegation projects supported by the Senate Administration and the German Federal Government, the development of white papers (e.g., the Blütenviertel White Paper) and concept papers, as well as supporting partner organizations in their own research initiatives.
