Partnerships
Together with strong partners we want to further develop the principles of clear language and unlock their enormous potential in knowledge transfer. For us, clear language is not only about inclusion, but also about an innovative approach to information that reaches far beyond the originally intended target groups.
One concrete example of what this looks like in practice: our Dual Editions of major German statutes: the Grundgesetz, the Strafgesetzbuch (StGB), the Aufenthaltsgesetz (AufenthG), and several others. These are complete legislative texts published as full dual editions: the original statute alongside a clear, accessible version, article by article, without cuts or substitutions. The original remains the authoritative text. The dual format is what makes it a legitimate publication, not a simplification. For publishers of legal, regulatory, or technical content, this is the structural answer to a long-standing problem: every citizen should be able to read the laws that govern them.
Do you share our vision of clear and effective communication? If so, we invite you to join us in shaping new ways of presenting knowledge. Whether in product development, research, or applied projects, let us harness the power of clear language together and set new standards in innovative content publishing.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Together with partners we want to further develop the principles of clear language.We want to use its full potential for knowledge transfer.For us, clear language is not only about inclusion.It also offers an innovative way to access information for everyone.
One example: we published the Grundgesetz, the StGB, and other German laws as dual editions.The original legal text stays unchanged and legally authoritative.The clear version sits alongside it.Publishers of legal or technical content can work with us on this.
