At the beginning of 1963 the German Institute for African Research (D.I.A.F.) was founded in Hamburg, in order to further the systematic study of regional aspects and practical problems of contemporary Africa. The approach of the Institute is interdisciplinary: research is carried out into the economic, legal, social, and historical problems of Africa. Regular colloquia organised at the Institute enable research workers and those in the field to exchange experiences.
