Research

Research at Senckenberg is as diverse and interconnected as the Earth system itself. We investigate the complex interrelationships in nature, between organisms, and with the animate and inanimate environment. One focus is on the changes that we humans are responsible for on Earth. The insights gained not only advance science, but also society. Because today’s research results are the basis for tomorrow’s solutions.

Our research is divided into the following areas:

Locally and internationally

Senckenberg scientists work internationally with partners in over 50 countries – from Antarctica to the Congo Basin to the Arctic, from Laos to Mongolia to Peru.

Networks

Excellent science thrives on exchange

That is why Senckenberg assumes responsibility on many levels and enters into partnerships. We are a partner of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and its Red List of Threatened Species. We participate in the evaluations of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and maintain a team that provides technical support for data processing at IPBES.

Cooperations

Strong Partners

Senckenberg is a member of the Leibniz Association. As in nature, diversity and cooperation are also the best recipes for success in science. We at Senckenberg are proud to be part of it! We owe this spectacular image to our colleague from the Center for Tropical Marine Research.

An alliance for marine invertebrates

Around 90 percent of all marine life consists of invertebrates. Not only are they diverse and beautiful, they also form the basis of many food chains. The Senckenberg Ocean Species Alliance was founded to protect marine ecosystems more effectively in the future.
