Short description

A Central Institution of Leipzig University, the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and operated by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Leipzig University in cooperation with the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ).

At iDiv, researchers from 30 nations are working on the foundations for a sustainable management of biological diversity. Since the DFG Research Centre was established in 2012, nine new professors have been appointed and several junior research groups established. These work primarily at iDiv’s core centre at BIO CITY LEIPZIG, while the more than 100 iDiv members lead research groups at the institutions that support iDiv.

DFG RESEARCH CENTRE ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY

How is life on earth distributed? At what rate are populations and species disappearing? What impact is the loss of biodiversity having on how our ecosystems function? These are three of many questions being addressed by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.
