Knowledge transfer to society and policymakers
Leibniz research is publicly funded, so the public should benefit directly from its findings and discoveries.
Knowledge transfer to industry
Leibniz institutes conduct cutting-edge research and play a leading international role in a large number of high-tech fields.
Start-ups
The Leibniz Association supports potential start-ups from within its own institutes by providing expert advice and training. The Leibniz Start-Up Prize is awarded for particularly innovative business ideas.
Leibniz Transfer funding programme
The Leibniz Transfer funding programme funds projects that intensify knowledge transfer from all areas of science to society, industry and policymakers.
