FIZ Karlsruhe is a member of the Leibniz Association and a large company of the German Mittelstand. We pride ourselves on our neutrality and reliability and also boast the professionalism of a service provider that has been successfully competing in international markets for many decades.
Our strategy to support the entire process of scientific value generation is realized in three business segments:

The business segment Databases and Information Services focuses on three services: - zbMATH - an information service in mathematics with networked information on mathematical topics, authors, publications, references, and software. - ICSD - an information service in crystallography with the world’s largest database of fully determined inorganic crystal structures and
In the business segment KnowEsis we develop and operate e-research solutions and services for scientists in various disciplines. Important examples are: the German Digital Library (DDB) that offers everyone free access to Germany’s cultural and scientific heritage, and RADAR, a cross-disciplinary service for the archival and publication of research data.
