The European Molecular Biology Laboratory is a non-profit organisation and a basic research institute funded by public research monies from 18 member states. Research at EMBL is conducted by approximately 80 independent groups covering the spectrum of molecular biology. The cornerstones of EMBL's mission are: to perform basic research in molecular biology, to train scientists, students and visitors at all levels, to offer vital services to scientists in the member states, and to develop new instruments and methods in the life sciences, and technology transfer. ...

Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft unterhält derzeit 80 Institute, Forschungsstellen und Arbeitsgruppen, die in einem breiten Spektrum von Forschungsgebieten mit besonders vielversprechenden Perspektiven tätig sind. Jedes Institut hat eine spezielle, in seiner Satzung definierte Aufgabe, sei es zur Struktur der Materie, der Funktionsweise unseres Nervensystems oder zur Entstehung und Entwicklung von Sternen und Galaxien. Max-Planck-Institute arbeiten in hohem Maße interdisziplinär und eng vernetzt mit Universitäten und Forschungsinstituten im In- und Ausland zusammen, um neue Erkenntnisse und Technologien an den Grenzen unseres Wissens zu erzeugen und hochqualifizierte, international wettbewerbsfähige Nachwuchswissenschaftler hervorzubringen. ...

Jane Goodall Institute's Center for Primate Studies was established at the University of Minnesota in 1995 by Dr. Anne Pusey, Distinguished McKnight Professor in the College of Biological Sciences Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. Dr. Pusey's goal is to digitize the journals and photos to preserve them and to make them available though the Internet to scholars as well as school children and the lay public. ...

Scientists in 15 Helmholtz Centres work on a wide range of topics, such as A for astrophysics, B for biology, C for cell research, and so on. 24,000 staff use the most modern scientific infrastructure, including, in particular, large-scale facilities and instrumentation, which are also open to use by members of the international scientific community. Working on behalf of the state, Helmholtz scientists pursue an ambitious goal: To make an essential contribution to solving the grand challenges which society faces. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz e.V. is a scientific organisation comprised of 84 non-university research institutes and service facilities. The research work carried out and services provided are of national significance. For this reason the institutes work is funded by both the Federal Government and the federal states (German "Länder"). In November 2000 the German Science Council (Wissenschaftsrat) confirmed that all Leibniz Institutes contribute considerably to Germany s research potential. The tasks perfomed by our institutes range from regional infrastructure research and economics through research projects in the area of social sciences to natural sciences, engineering and environmental research. The Leibniz Institutes are demand-oriented and interdisciplinary centers of competence. They consider themselves as co-operation partners for industry, public administration and politics; scientific collaboration with universities is particularly close and intensive. ...

The twin goals of the MSU Digital Evolution Laboratory are to experimentally study digital organisms to improve our understanding of how natural evolution works, and then to apply this knowledge to solving computational problems. Much of the work in the Devolab is centered on research with and the continued development of the Avida digital evolution research platform. In Avida, a population of self-replicating computer programs is subjected to external pressures (such as mutations and limited resources) and allowed to evolve subject to natural selection. ...

Polar and Marine research are central themes of Global system and Environmental Science. The Alfred Wegener Institute conducts research in the Arctic, the Antarctic and at temperate latitudes. It coordinates Polar research in Germany and provides both the necessary equipment and the essential logistic back up for polar expeditions. Recent additional research themes include North Sea Research, contributions to Marine Biological Monitoring, Marine Pollution Research, Investigation of naturally occuring marine substances and technical marine developments. ...

Our goal is to systematically investigate the mechanisms of cancer development and to identify cancer risk factors. The results of this basic research are expected to be developed into new approaches in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The German Cancer Research Center is a foundation under public law and a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren). As a national research center it is financed by the Federal German Government and the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg. In addition, the Center is part of the cooperative association of the Tumor Center Heidelberg/Mannheim. ... [Information of the supplier]
