| Virtual Networks A "Virtual Network" is a group of Think Tanks identified by certain semantic and normative (ideological) commonalities (e.g. climate change scepticism). Such a virtual network constitutes a research field that differs from the study of formal networks. Formal networks are real in the sense of officially acknowledged and immediately open to empirical validation. Virtual networks on the other hand display shared ideas. Social network analysis tools can be applied to find out if or to what extent virtual networks are real networks that display linkages (membership in networks, personnel, resources etc.). Unconnected think tanks in turn can be considered special cases in need of explanation independent from network structures (unless we have to assume invisible, hidden or covered ties). | Neue Rechte |

The association conducts what it refers to as educational activity via events and publications. Many of its activities are related to historical revisionism. The think tank is based at the same address as the Preußischen Allgemeinen Zeitung - formerly Ostpreußenblatt whose editor in chief was Hugo Wellems, the founder of the SWG and also editor of the Deutsche Partei's newspaper Das Deutsche Wort, and formerly press secretary for Goebbels. Many of the leading people in the organisation were or are associated to the military.
