In the framework of an initiative to advance biodiversity research in Germany, we will establish three exemplary large-scale and long-term research sites (funded by the German Research Foundation). They are termed Biodiversity Exploratories, in contrast to mainly descriptive observatories. The exploratories will establish and sustain the scientific infrastructure and develop the intellectual framework needed to address critical questions about changes in biodiversity and to evaluate the impacts of those changes for ecosystem processes. Thus, in the exploratories biodiversity and ecosystem research will be merged at a large scale and with a long-term perspective. In this first phase the exploratories will address the relationship between land-use intensity, biodiversity change, and ecosystem functioning for selected taxa. After establishment, these exploratories will also integrate further contributing projects proposed by the German research community. Thus, the biodiversity exploratories will serve as a stimulating research platform for the whole German biodiversity research community. ... [Information of the supplier]
The project "Life Science Zurich" is a joint initiative of The University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich. This project will combine the resources of the University and the ETH and use their synergies optimally. The goal is to maintain a leading position in many areas of the life sciences. The main existing competences should be expanded, and additional competences should be acquired. Another important goal of Life Science Zurich is to strengthen the communication of Life Sciences activities, both internally and externally. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute (vTI) is one of four German federal research institutes under the auspices of the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV). The vTI was created on January 1, 2008 from the German Federal Research Centre for Fisheries, the German Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products and part of the German Federal Agricultural Research Centre. The vTI drafts scientific basics as decision-making helps for the policy of the German federal government and thus serves, with its application oriented and practice related research, the development of the society of tomorrow. The vTI pursues interdisciplinary research in the following areas: Economics (micro and macroeconomics of agriculture, forestry, lumber, food and fish production), Technology, Material use of renewable natural resources, Climate, Biodiversity, Organic Farming. The vTI comprises 15 specialty institutes. The headquarters of the vTI are in Braunschweig with facilities in Hamburg, Großhansdorf, Eberswalde, Waldsieversdorf, Rostock, Cuxhaven, Ahrensburg and Trenthorst. ... [Information of the supplier]
Our goal is to contribute to the development of a network of sustainable and ecological agricultural systems, which provide food, renewable resources and energy. The environmentally friendly nature of these systems ensures optimal soil and plant health, and promotes animal welfare, biodiversity, an efficient energy flow and nutrient cycle balance. ...

The history of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Elektronenmikroskopie e.V. starts with the technical development of the electron microscope in Germany. The pioneers of the development of electron microscopy were involved in the formation of the DGE. In the years following after World War II thre centers for electron microscopy formed in the Federal Republic of Germany. ... [Information of the supplier]
Our goal: to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases. Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines." Before proteins can carry out these important functions, they assemble themselves, or "fold." The process of protein folding, while critical and fundamental to virtually all of biology, in many ways remains a mystery. Moreover, when proteins do not fold correctly (i.e. "misfold"), there can be serious consequences, including many well known diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes. You can help by simply running a piece of software. Folding@home is a distributed computing project -- people from throughout the world download and run software to band together to make one of the largest supercomputers in the world. Every computer takes the project closer to our goals. Folding@home uses novel computational methods coupled to distributed computing, to simulate problems millions of times more challenging than previously achieved. We have had several successes. You can read about them on our Science page, on our Awards page, or go directly to our Results page. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]

We wholeheartedly welcome you to the 55th Annual Meeting of the GV-SOLAS and 17th IGTP training in Cologne. Aging research is a key focus area represented in Cologne with the Max Planck Institute and CECAD, the Cluster of Excellence of the University of Cologne. How can animals be used to investigate the causes of the aging process and to develop successful therapies to treat age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke or neurodegeneration? Such translational approaches regarding aging research will be a focus of the GV-Meeting 2017. Current developments in the field of targeted genetic modifications lead to expectations that the spectrum of genetically modified experimental animals with harmful phenotypes will increase and present the field of Laboratory Animal Science with new challenges. Initially limited to a few species, such genetic changes are now possible in a variety of organisms and can be performed quickly and with little expertise required. The conference will provide a platform for a lively exchange in this area. An integral part of our meeting in the form of seminars and workshops include classic laboratory animal issues such as veterinary medicine, nutrition, hygiene management, the application of the 3Rs principles, new developments and the practical implementation of the Protection of Animals Act and the General Administrative Directive for the Execution of the Protection of Animals Act, aspects of training and, not least, public relations. The always controversial debate about the the use of laboratory animals in research continues to have great social relevance. In this meeting, we want to provide insight in ways to support the acceptance of animal research using scientifically based justifications and logical, reasonable answers. I look forward to an exciting congress and to welcome you to the city of Cologne with its 2000 year history. ... [Information of the supplier]
We are very pleased to invite you on behalf of the Society for Animal Laboratory Science (GV -SOLAS), the Interest Group of Animal Technologists and Research Technicians (GV-IGTP) and the local Organizing the Committee, to the 58 Annual Meeting of the Society for Animal Laboratory Science and the 19 Advanced Training Course of the GV-IGTP, to be held in Würzburg from September 16th to 18th, 2020. The continuously increasing number of attendees at the meetings of the GV and IGPT show today’s importance of laboratory animal sciences. The implementation of animal welfare and the improvement of the housing conditions of laboratory animals is an important goal for researchers, animal facility managers and caretakers. Only the continuous development and introduction of new products enable us to keep moving in this direction. Therefore, we would like Appreciate to welcome you as exhibitor and sponsor to the meeting in Würzburg. The Congress Centrum Würzburg is located in the center of Würzburg and exclusively reserved for our meeting. ... [Information of the supplier]
