Knowledge and technology transfer

As an institution of the Leibniz Association, we understand knowledge and technology transfer to mean communicating our knowledge to science, industry, politics and society. In this context, we place great emphasis on consultation, mediation and application. We offer opportunities for networking and international exchange through various formats. We bring science, society, politics and business into conversation with each other, thus contributing to the knowledge-based development of society.

Society

In dialogue with society, we highlight the role of research libraries in the digital transformation of science and society. We provide a vivid illustration of the issues that concern us by actively maintaining media relations, directly involving the public in our citizen science projects, and presenting our research activities in public exhibitions and dialogues.
