GOVERNMENTAL PARTNERS

The IPC works with several governmental partners such as the Federal government of Germany, the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the City of Bonn, where it is located in. Collaborations include logistical and financial support as well as implementing joint events.

The Federal Government of Germany has been supporting the IPC since it moved to Bonn, Germany in 1999. While Sport is mainly being handled by the Federal Chancellery the IPC keeps close relationships to the Federal Foreign office and the German Parliament as well.

The State Government of North Rhine Westphalia, the biggest state in Germany where the IPC is located, has also been supporting the IPC since it moved to Bonn and has been a key partner in providing the current premises for the IPC Campus.

Bonn has been the previous federal capital of West Germany, but after the Reunification of West and East Germany in 1991, most government institutions moved to Berlin. Nevertheless, the city remains politically important since it has attracted several international organisations and hosts a big United Nations campus since 1996. The city of Bonn has provided the IPC’s first headquarters from 1999 to 2023 and supports the IPC in a number of other collaborations as well.
