The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) is a leading research center in biodiversity sciences with a research focus on insights into the biological diversity of Earth. Researchers from all over the world cooperate to build the scientific foundation of a sustainable development in biological diversity. Moreover, the center reaches out to the civil society – for instance through its internationally oriented media relations, or in events like the Long Night of Sciences, the Leipzig Book Fair, or SPIN 2030.
