The Leibniz Association (German: Leibniz-Gemeinschaft or Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz) is a union of German non-university research institutes from various branches of study. In 2011, 87 non-university research institutes and service device for science belong to the Leibniz-Gemeinschaft. The fields range from natural science, engineering, and ecology, to economics, other social sciences, space science, and humanities. The Leibniz Institutes work in an interdisciplinary fashion, and connect basic and applied science. They cooperate with universities, industry, and other partners in different parts of the world. The "evaluation" of the Leibniz-Gemeinschaft is a benchmark for all institutes. The Leibniz Institutes employ 16,800 people and budget was €1.4 billion.〔http://www.daad.de/deutschland/foerderung/ausschreibungen/16753.en.html〕 Leibniz Institutes are funded publicly to equal parts by the federal government and the Federal states (Bundesländer). ==History== The Leibniz-Gemeinschaft is named after the German philosopher, mathematician, scientist, and inventor Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716). The partnership evolved from the Blaue Liste (blue list) and partnerships of research institutions of the former DDR, whose research capability was deemed worth keeping after an evaluation by the German ''Wissenschaftsrat''. The name 'Blaue Liste' for a German model for funding science has been retired, and traces back to the color of a dossier. Leibniz-Gemeinschaft has its registered office in Berlin; there are branches in Bonn und Bruxelles. Since 2010 the sociologist Prof. Dr. Karl Ulrich Mayer is president of the Leibniz Association, Christiane Neumann acts as secretary general. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leibniz Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
