Internationales Institut für Bildung, Sozial- und Antisemitismusforschung

The International Institute for Education, Social and Antisemitism Research (IIBSA), based in Berlin, is a renowned institution that has been dedicated to research and consulting on current issues such as antisemitism, Islamism, and far-right ideology since its founding in 2006.

• Research and Consulting: The IIBSA conducts comprehensive research projects and events in various countries, including Germany, Morocco, Spain, France, Belgium, Austria, Israel, and the United Kingdom. It works closely with international partners such as the Center for Iranian Studies at Tel Aviv University, the Groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcités (GSRL) in France, and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism at Indiana University[2].
• Academic and Practical Exchange: The Institute promotes the exchange between science and practice by developing concepts, programs, and approaches to overcome current issues. It regularly organizes conferences, workshops, and international events to bring together experts and interested parties[2][3].
• Handbooks and Publications: The IIBSA has published important handbooks and publications, such as the "Handbook for the practical use of the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism," commissioned by the European Commission and published in collaboration with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance[3].

The main mission of the IIBSA is to research and combat antisemitism, Islamism, and far-right ideologies from an international perspective. The Institute is committed to promoting knowledge, understanding, and tolerance and develops strategies to overcome these forms of extremism. It places particular emphasis on collaboration with civil society, Jewish and non-Jewish organizations, as well as think tanks and security organizations[2].

The IIBSA is committed to developing sustainable solutions to combat antisemitism and other forms of extremism. It works closely with various sponsors and partners, including the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Google Germany, and the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah, to achieve its goals. By organizing workshops and conferences, such as the workshop "Media, Israel-related Antisemitism and Journalistic Responsibility," the Institute raises awareness among journalists and media professionals about the importance of responsible reporting[4][5].

The IIBSA remains active in research and exchange. It regularly plans international conferences and workshops, such as participation in the European Sociological Association (ESA) conference in Porto, and regularly publishes new research findings and publications. The work of the Institute is driven by its dedicated leadership, particularly by Chairman Kim Robin Stoller and Vice Chairman Günther Jikeli, both of whom are internationally recognized experts in their field[2][3].
