The Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute: Markets & Public Policy is a joint initiative of the Universities of Bonn and Cologne and funded for the years 2019-2025 by the German Research Foundation in the German Excellence Strategy. The goal of the Cluster is to advance a new paradigm for the analysis of markets & public policy in light of fundamental societal and technological challenges. All research activities are organized under the roof of the Reinhard Selten Institute (RSI), a joint research institute of the Universities of Bonn and Cologne. The ECONtribute Network was established to promote two-way knowledge exchange between researchers and policymakers.
