    A Look at the 89 Institutes

    The 2014 Leibniz Association Yearbook offers a comprehensive overview of all 89 member institutes. The Institutes are organized into the following five areas:
    • A – Humanities and Educational Research;
    • B – Economics, Social Sciences, and Spatial Research;
    • C – Life Sciences;
    • D – Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Engineering;
    • E – Environmental Research.

    For the first time there are short profiles of the Leibniz Research Alliances and the “Leibniz WissenschaftsCampi” as well.

    The Leibniz Association’s “Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampi” (ScienceCampi) promote cooperation on an equal footing between Leibniz institutions and universities in the form of thematically-focused, complementary regional partnerships.

    The Leibniz Association

    The Leibniz Association connects 89 independent research institutions that range in focus from the natural, engineering and environmental sciences via economics, spatial and social sciences to the humanities. Leibniz Institutes address issues of social, economic and ecological relevance. They conduct knowledge-driven and applied basic research, maintain scientific infrastructure and provide research-based services. The Leibniz Association identifies focus areas for knowledge transfer to policy-makers, academia, business and the public. Leibniz Institutes collaborate intensively with universities – in the form of “WissenschaftsCampi” (thematic partnerships between university and non-university research institutes), for example – as well as with industry and other partners at home and abroad. They are subject to an independent evaluation procedure that is unparalleled in its transparency. Due to the institutes’ importance for the country as a whole, they are funded jointly by the Federation and the Länder, employing some 17,500 individuals, including 8,800 researchers. The entire budget of all the institutes is approximately 1.5 billion EUR.
