After having visited already more than 50 Leibniz Institutes, Kleiner stated that LIfBi was indeed “a very typical Leibniz Institute”. In the best sense, LIfBi were committed to the Leibniz Association’s motto—“theoria cum praxi: science for the welfare and benefit of people”.
Currently, the Leibniz Association links up 88 independent research institutes. Their focus extends from the natural, engineering, and environmental sciences across the economic, spatial, and social sciences to the humanities.
