1. The German Research Landscape
The German Research System is characterised by different players
Research of higher education institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences etc.)
Non-university based research facilities (Max Planck Society, Helmholtz Association, Fraunhofer, Leibniz Association etc.)
Industrial research, e.g. Siemens, Bayer, BASF, AiF etc., also medium-sized enterprises in cooperation with universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschulen)
