Institute
The Liechtenstein Institute was founded on August 15, 1986, the national holiday of the Principality of Liechtenstein by the initiative of Gerard Batliner as a research center for practical and fundamental research relating to Liechtenstein. The institute does not award degrees and does not offer lectures, which are typical for universities. Therefore, the Liechtenstein Institute is a university-like institution according to the higher education act of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The institute’s organising institution is an incorporated non-profit society, according to the private and corporate law of Liechtenstein.
Since 1998 the Liechtenstein Institute is located in the present building, the old parsonage on the chapel hill of Bendern.
In the first years, the founding of the institute relied solely on private contributions. Nowadays the public authorities provide two-thirds of the means.
