The Konrad Adenauer Foundation (German: Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, KAS) is a German political party foundation associated with but independent of the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The foundation's headquarters are located in Sankt Augustin near Bonn, as well as in Berlin.[1] Globally, the KAS has 78 offices and runs programs in over 100 countries.[2] Its current chairman is the former president of the German parliament Deutscher Bundestag, Norbert Lammert. It is a member of the Martens Centre, the official foundation and think tank of the European People's Party (EPP).[3] In 2020, it ranked 15th amongst think tanks globally.[4]
In summer 2024, the foundation was designated as "undesirable" in Russia.[5]
In November 2024, the Center for Studies in Social Sciences Research (CERSS) in Morocco terminated its partnership with KAS due to a politics-based disagreement.[6]
