Projects of the ifo Institute
The strength of the ifo Institute's scientific achievements is also reflected in its success in the scientific competition for research grants. The research grants acquired in the scientific competition have a double effect for the ifo Institute: on the one hand, they increase the scope for research, and on the other hand, they make it possible to work on fundamental policy-oriented issues and thus improve the basis for policy advice by the ifo Institute.

Companies and organisations are subject to the far-reaching antitrust laws. They themselves have to assess whether their conduct complies with antitrust laws. The ifo Institute offers its members, the members of its advisory bodies and its staff a legally sound basis for exchanging opinions and experience that complies with antitrust law. Ifo Institute meetings do not deal with antitrust issues, nor do they create an opportunity for or promote agreements or decisions that do not comply with antitrust law. The ifo Institute will not suffer any forms of conduct that do not comply with antitrust law.

Climate change and dwindling resources pose major challenges for society. The ifo Center for Energy, Climate, and Resources advocates sustainability and climate action.
