This link to the D-Mark once again underlines quite clearly how much the foundation is bound to monetary stability. By far the greatest part of the foundation's funds will be used to finance a research unit, which is to be linked to a university. This research is to be of an interdisciplinary nature.
Monetary stability is to be studied from the point of view of economics, finance and law. It is our desire that this centre will pursue new avenues of academic study and policy consultation. Interested institutions are currently being asked to apply. Eighteen universities have expressed interest in the first round. However, it will take some time yet before the process can be finalised.
