Their areas of focus range from life and biomedical sciences, natural sciences and technology, and environmental sciences to economics, social sciences and humanities. The Institutes address topics of social, economic, and ecological relevance. They employ both basic and applied research, as well as infrastructures. The Leibniz Institutes also engage in knowledge and technology transfer as well as policy advice. They collaborate intensively with universities as well as with industry and other partners at home and abroad. The institutes are funded jointly by the Federal Government and the Länder and are evaluated every seven years. Leibniz institutes employ about 17,000 persons, including close to 8000 researchers.
