Research Association Berlin
The Forschungsverbund Berlin e. V. (FVB) is an amalgamation of eight research institutions that were originally institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (AdW). The Unification Treaty, which came into force on October 3, 1990, regulated u. a. that the institutes of the AdW were initially taken over into the sponsorship of the new federal states .
Like all AdW institutions, the natural , life and environmental science research institutes in Berlin , which today belong to the Berlin Research Association, were evaluated by the Science Council with the vote that they should become independent institutes. The state of Berlin then created a supporting organization called “Research Association”, which was founded in November 1991, which was intended as an interim solution and was to be dissolved again after five years.
The association, which primarily concerned the administrative structure, proved to be appropriate. Just two years after it was founded, the institutes had decided to keep the group administration.
The institutes of the FVB are scientifically independent and take care of common interests within the framework of a uniform legal personality.
The directors of the institutes and other leading scientists hold chairs at the universities in Berlin and Brandenburg, thus ensuring a close connection to teaching and research in the universities.
