The Lawaetz-Foundation is a non-profit organisation which was founded in 1986 by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
The Foundation is active in various areas of labour market, social and urban development policy. Core activities entail

- research on the basis of primary and secondary data analysis,
- the evaluation of EU-sponsored programmes;
- programme assistance on labour market- and social policy interventions with regard to implementation, monitoring, and documentation;
