"Counterparts" is the name of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants' initiative to support culture and education in Central and Eastern Europe, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut. "Counterparts" stands not only for the exchange and dialog between different cultures, but for their search for similarities as well.

In 2005 and 2006, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants funded projects in Croatia and Poland. These projects included cultural events and public libraries. Projects in Russia are on the agenda for 2008.

In Poland, Roland Berger funded the production of W. A. Mozart's "Magic Flute" by Achim Freyer at the Teatr Wielki – Polish National Opera in Warsaw, which premiered on June 16, 2006. In addition, Roland Berger is supporting the International Cultural Centre (ICC) in Krakow by establishing a multimedia reading room.

In Croatia, the consultancy sponsored a contemporary art exhibition of works by Croatian and German artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb in 2005. Moreover, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants supported the Dubrovnik Libraries by helping them expand their collection of cultural, historical and scientific books, as well as building up a music library. Roland Berger's commitment to this endeavor continues today.

In 2008, the international strategy consultancy is sponsoring the "Festival of contemporary German choreography", to be held March 27 to April 24 in Moscow, a month-long celebration of German dance. Roland Berger also plans to install an electronic reading room at the St. Petersburg State University of Economics and Finance.
