Products/services: The Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities conducts innovative basic research in the humanities and natural sciences through more than 60 different projects. Since it is not tied to any university, it can focus its efforts on long-term research endeavours. This includes work on scholarly dictionaries, important editions and series of exact measurements – all with the aim of preserving our cultural heritage and laying the foundations for further research. Many of the academy’s projects involve international collaboration. New ad-hoc working groups with a much shorter-term research horizon focus on highly topical social and political issues. With the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre and the Walther-Meißner-Institute for Low Temperature Research, the Academy oversees two further institutes of international renown at the Garching research campus.
