Ludwig Boltzmann Society

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ludwig Boltzmann Society ( LBG ), named after the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann , is an Austrian supporting organization for non-university research in the fields of medicine , humanities , social and cultural sciences and operates the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute and Ludwig Boltzmann Cluster.

history

The Ludwig Boltzmann Society was founded on September 23, 1960. The founding idea of ​​the LBG was to found research institutes for those highly specialized fields that were not given enough attention by the established scientific system of the post-war period . The first Ludwig Boltzmann Institute (LBI) devoted itself to solid-state physics from 1965 . For almost four decades, the managing director was Josef Bandion († 2005). The first director of the institute was Heinrich Gross , who was the station director of the “Reich Committee Department” at the Vienna “Euthanasia” clinic at Am Spiegelgrund during World War II .

The number of Ludwig Boltzmann institutes grew to 131 institutes and so-called research centers by 1999 ; For example, primaries received an LBI at hospitals in order to be able to do research. However, in the past there were neither structural requirements nor money for infrastructure or projects. A certain “door sign industry” emerged, which led to ambivalences within the LBG: the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute label was considered honorable in the public eye, but less so in the science community .

In order to put an end to the historically caused "wild growth" and to create modern structures, a strategy process began in 2002 to relaunch LBG. With the help of a sounding board made up of well-known scientists and experts in research management, guidelines were developed as an objective basis for decision-making for the establishment of institutes. There are evaluation measures and quality controls implemented in line with international standards and are conducted by international researchers of the respective areas for all LBIS and clusters.

On this basis, the first invitation to tender for Ludwig Boltzmann institutes of the new style followed in 2004 and the non-profit Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft GmbH was founded as a 100 percent subsidiary of the LBG and supporting organization for the new institutes.

In parallel, an evaluation of the existing institutes in the association was carried out. As a result, most of the old institutes were closed by 2006. Some were merged into thematic clusters and some were continued in adaptation to the new guidelines. A special feature of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institutes is the cooperation with institutional partner organizations.

In 2014, LBG started its Open Innovation in Science Initiative (OIS Initiative) with two pilot projects. In the meantime, the LBG has anchored the topic of Open Innovation in Science in Austria.

organization

The former Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Josef Pröll (ÖVP) has been the new LBG President since September 5, 2012 . His predecessor was the former Raiffeisen Attorney General Christian Konrad .

Today the following institutions exist:

Ludwig Boltzmann Institute and Cluster

  • LBI Rehabilitation Research
  • Research group "DOT - The Open Door"
  • Research group "Village - How to raise the village to raise the child"
