Sharing Knowledge
/// We can only use knowledge if we understand it
“The aim of the GfK Verein is to generate and distribute knowledge. However, with its own Academy, endowment of a chair, as well as numerous publications, the Verein is also working hard to ensure that this knowledge is also understood”, Prof. Dr. Raimund Wildner, Managing Director of the GfK Verein .
Training and continuous professional development for consumer, market and sales researchers form part of the core tasks of the GfK Verein. These activities include the GfK Academy, which is primarily geared towards executives in senior and middle management in Germany and abroad, with training focusing on issues relating to knowledge-based marketing management.
In addition, the GfK Verein has long-standing relationships with national and international universities and has particularly close ties with the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, where it also endows the chair for Marketing Intelligence.
