Wir verstehen uns als ein unabhängiges Institut, das die positiven Seiten einer akademischen Institution, eines privaten Unternehmens, selbstständiger Arbeit und eines offenen Netzwerkes miteinander vereint. Das heißt bei uns: hohe akademische Standards, kreative Freiheit, konkrete Praxis, persönlicher Einsatz, direktes Erfahrungswissen, Experimentierbereitschaft und unternehmerischer Geist. Diese Qualitäten spiegeln sich sowohl in unserer Arbeit, als auch in unserer Institutsstruktur wieder.
