Press releases, op-eds, background talks, publications, events—the Communications department informs politicians, the media and the public online and offline via various communication channels about RWI's research findings and their economic policy implications. The team works in two areas:

The ‘Policy and Communication’ division supports the management level in particular with policy advice and communication. In addition to communicating research findings and their (economic) policy implications, the department is primarily responsible for op-eds in regional and national media and the policy-advising publication series "RWI Positionen" and "RWI Impact Notes".

The ‘Press and Public Relations’ department is responsible for the website, event organisation, the design and production of publications and information material as well as graphics. The spectrum ranges from standard graphics for publications, reports and posters to photos.
