Among his clients are major company-affiliated foundations as well as not-for-profit associations and European institutions.

Cornelius Adebahr has been working at the Research Institute of DGAP since January 2006, first with the European Foreign and Security Policy Program and then, since January 2009, at the Alfred-von-Oppenheim-Center for European Studies. There, he supervises the ‘International Diplomats Programme’, a joint initiative of the German Foreign Office, the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt, and DGAP. This program targets young diplomats from the countries of Northern Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, who are accredited in Berlin. They participate in a one-year programme with seminar days and excursions to better get to know German politics, economics, society and culture.

From 1995 to 2001, he studied Political Science (International Relations), Philosophy, Public Law, and International Economics in Tübingen, Paris, and at the Free University Berlin, where he graduated in 2001 before receiving his PhD (Dr. rer. pol.) in 2008.
