- the promotion of young scholars, especially involving graduate programmes and scholarships.
- the scientific exchange through invitations of fellows, the organisation of symposia, workshops as well as conferences and the participation in such events organised by third parties.
- publicising the activities and results of the projects to the general public.
- the fulfilment of the tasks assigned to the Bauhaus University Weimar as a World Heritage Site and the promotion of related research and outreach.
- the organisation and support of joint courses on the thematic field of the Centre.
