class="col-md-6-text"> <p>The German Archaeological Institute is an internationally active research institution subordinate to Germany's Federal Foreign Office. In addition to its archaeological research worldwide and its commitment to the protection and preservation of cultural heritage, the DAI is an important participant in Germany's foreign cultural and education policies. With a total of eleven substantial branches – the head office in Berlin, three commissions in Bonn, Frankfurt am Main, and Munich, as well as seven departments stationed in Athens, Berlin, Istanbul, Cairo, Madrid, and Rome – the DAI is active both at home and abroad. The departments and commissions oversee further field offices in Tehran, Sana'a, Baghdad, Damascus, and Beijing, as well as research centres in Lisbon, Ulaanbaatar, and Budapest which all contribute to a closely knitted cooperation with colleagues and institutions in the host countries. The same is also the case for the associated research projects run in conjunction with the branches of the German Protestant Institute of Ancient Studies of the Holy Land (Deutsches Evangelisches Institut für Altertumswissenschaft des Heiligen Landes, DEI) in Jerusalem and Amman, which have been DAI research centres since 2005. Individual local offices and local excavation houses complement the institute's global research infrastructure.</p> <p>The priorities of the research carried out at the departments and commissions follow globally conceived directives for archaeology and geography which, rather delimited by modern state borders, remain focussed on past cultural expanses. This indeed forms an incentive for interdisciplinary cooperation between the departments and the commissions. Adaptable structures and research programmes enable the DAI to readily respond at any time to the changing requirements within both scientific research and culture politics.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="co-1 co-x co-padding" id="c2578"> <div class="container-lg"> </div> </div>  <div class="co-0 co-c img-left" id="c2072"> <div class="container-lg"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-6"> <figure> <picture><source srcset="/fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_dainst.org_Kachel_Platzhalter_1000x667px_d342ec2b6b.jpg 400w, /fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_dainst.org_Kachel_Platzhalter_1000x667px_892fe20a45.jpg 600w, /fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_dainst.org_Kachel_Platzhalter_1000x667px_1f5a951264.jpg 800w, /fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_dainst.org_Kachel_Platzhalter_1000x667px_ea76fd570f.jpg 1000w" sizes="(min-width: 800px) 800px, 100vw" /><img src="/fileadmin/_processed_/0/a/csm_dainst.org_Kachel_Platzhalter_1000x667px_05b1119170.jpg" width="800" alt="" /></picture> <div class="showHeaderimgInfo"> <p class="img-info"> <span>© </span> <p class="info"> </p> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <div> <h3>Cross-section & service areas</h3> <p>Some of the work areas based at the DAI's headquarters in Berlin also contribute their expertise to the Institute's locations around the world.
