  • Press Release, April 9, 2019
    Press Release, April 9, 2019 Another four years funding for the Leibniz Science Campus Phosphorus Research Rostock At the beginning of April, the Leibniz Association decided to support the Leibniz Science Campus Phosphorus Research Rostock (P Campus) for another four years with a good 1.13 million euros. The P Campus, which was founded in 2015 and brings together five Leibniz institutes from the region and the University of Rostock, will thus be able to continue and expand its successful interdisciplinary research into the essential element phosphorus and its role in the environment and in economy. The Rostock P Campus is one of a total of 22 science campi with a focal theme that serve the strategic networking of Leibniz institutes with universities and other regional partners. “In the face of strong competition, the funding of a second phase of the P Campus underscores the high quality of the research carried so far as well as the worldwide outstanding position of phosphorus research in the Ros- tock area and, as a result, further strengthens the excellence profile of the university and the Leibniz institutes in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania," comments Prof. Ulrich Bathmann, speaker of the P Campus, the renewed funding commitment of the Leibniz Association. “The state government supports this with additional funding from the ministries for agriculture, the environment and consumer protection as well as for education, science and culture,” Bathmann continues. Phosphorus (P) plays an important role in the environment as an essential element for all living organisms and is also of central importance in numer- ous agricultural and industrial production processes.

  • Museum and Research What Makes Us Different
    MUSEUM AND RESEARCH WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Ships are a gateway to people and the sea Ships transport people, goods and knowledge – in fact, globalisation would be completely unimaginable without them. Ships can also be used to explore the multifaceted and ever-changing relationship between humankind and the sea and to make it something truly tangible in exhibitions. We have set ourselves this goal. In the scope of our research programme and our exhibition, we observe ships from a variety of perspectives. We explore shipbuilding and navigation from a socio-economic per- spective, discover how human knowledge is able to spread all around the world with the aid of ships and consider the impact that shipping has on our environment. www.dsm.museum/ausstellung www.dsm.museum/forschung A Leibniz Association research museum The DSM is one of eight Leibniz research museums located across Germany. The Leibniz Association research museums collect, research and inform. Their combined collections are home to way in excess of 100 million exhibits and form the basis for research into the history of the Earth and biodiversity, cultural and technological history and the conservation of our scientific and cultural heritage. With their research-based exhibitions, the museums reach THE DSM between three and four million people every year. With an indoor exhibition space spanning 8,000 m2 and www.dsm.museum/forschungsmuseen a museum harbour complete with historical ships, the German Maritime Museum / Leibniz Institute for Maritime History (DSM) is one of the largest maritime museums in the whole of Europe. One of the most famous exhibits within the museum itself is the Bremen Cog dating back to 1380, widely deemed to be the best preserved ship from the Middle Ages.

  • Museums – Places of Authenticity? (RGZM Tagungen Bd
    EDITORS’ PREFACE Museums acquire, conserve, research, communicate and exhibit according to their own defnition the her- itage of humanity (cultural heritage) as well as the environment in which it is integrated (natural heritage). The institutions see themselves as the guardians, preservers and labelling institutions of »authentic« things and thus »singled out« in many ways. With the claim of presenting original, thus »real« objects in exhibi- tions and collections, they generate the feeling of a supposedly direct encounter with the past but also with the unknown or the otherwise unreachable. In their own claim, this makes them »authentic places« like historical buildings, urban ensembles or memorial sites that appear in a similar way. All of them fulfl the widespread longing for authenticity, which seeks to connect the present with the past, one’s own self with the other, one’s own questions with scientifc knowledge in the mode of the genuine, true and real. However, whether and to what extent museums, as well as archives and similar institutions are actual places of authenticity should certainly be questioned. The contributions collected in this volume show, in a funda- mental way and using selected case studies, the different dimensions of dealing with the phenomenon of »authenticity«. Relevant aspects in collections, research, conservation, restoration, exhibition and learning in museums and in dealing with cultural heritage have been highlighted. The contributions refect the most diverse disciplinary perspectives and approaches of the authors to a topic that is of great relevance across all disciplinary boundaries and can only be researched on an interdisciplinary basis. The »types of museums« covered range from history, archaeology and natural history to science and art-museums.

  • MEDIA INFORMATION Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology
    MEDIA INFORMATION Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology Dummerstorf, Oktober 14, 2017 Are there sustainable solutions in dealing with dwindling phosphorus resources? Scientists in Dummerstorf set out in the European research project ERANet PEGaSus on the search After nitrogen, phosphorus is the second most important mineral and an essential building block for all living organisms in agricultural cycles, be it fodder plants, livestock or crop growing. Natural resources are shrinking and will dry up in the foreseeable future. For this reason, research has been under heavy pressure for years on the efficient use of this valuable raw material, and for some years now also the Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf as part of the Leibniz Science Campus Rostock is involved. Another major research project in this area worth 2.0 million euros and running for three years has been granted to the FBN:"ERANet PEGaSus". “For about three years now, we have been investigating intensively on making more efficient use of the limited resource phosphorus in modern livestock farming," said FBN director and project manager Prof. Klaus Wimmers. The coordination of the international project "ERANet PEGaSus" is an excellent opportunity for our institute to advance our scientific work in an interdisciplinary consortium and to extent our research as a partner in the DFG research group "P‐Fowl", which was also recently established. We are looking for sustainable solutions for the future use of phosphorus." With the world's growing population, demand for phosphorus as a fertilizer and feed additive is steadily increasing by 2‐3% per year, while the reserves of today's exploitable deposits are limited.
