And that is their system

BerlinThe German science system is so complex and how it works so complicated that you can bet that even many scientists do not understand it. Its main pillars are the universities and non-university research organizations. In addition, there are eight academies of science of the federal states, the German academy for technical sciences and the German academy of natural scientists Leopoldina, 38 federal institutions of departmental research and 150 state research institutions as well as various foreign institutes – also financed with public funds.

The more than 100 universities that are subordinate to the states are the focal point and organizational center of our science system. At the same time, they are his source of life in that they train the next generation of scientists. The non-university research organizations funded by the federal and state governments are specific to the German science system. Its 270 institutes and research centers have very different missions. Because of the focus on certain types and goals of research, there is often talk of a “columnarization” of the scientific landscape.
