Norbert Elias Foundation
The Norbert Elias Foundation (Dutch: Norbert Elias Stichting; English: Norbert Elias Foundation) is a non-profit foundation established in 1983 by the sociologist Norbert Elias and based in Amsterdam . In line with the broad process and relationship-based understanding of Norbert Elias, she is committed to promoting process-sociological social sciences.
Since its inception, all income from the publication of Elias' works has been allocated to the foundation's capital. With the death of Elias on August 1, 1990, the foundation became the sole heir.
The board consists of Johan Goudsblom , Hermann Korte and Stephen Mennell .
