Education
acclaimed scientists, professors and entrepreneurs are available
here on request for lecturing in schools to report on the fascina-
tion of research, new research findings and the working practices
and environment in universities and companies.
No other German region has as many laboratories for school
pupils in such a compact area as Berlin-Brandenburg. In addi-
tion, many companies and institutions also provide information
on themes in science and technology and hence also on the life
sciences. The school student laboratories of the region’s research
facilities and universities have established the network Schüler-
labornetzwerk GenaU which provides information about all the
information services on offer on its web page at www.genau-bb.de.
Information for everyone
Other information sources for the general public in research
facilities and universities are listed on the web page Berliner
WissensWerte (www.berliner-wissenswerte.de) established and
maintained by TSB Technologiestiftung Berlin. Users can view the
wide range of information available according to themes, target
groups and dates to receive inspiration for an excursion into the
world of science.
Berliner WissensWerte wissen,
wann und wo Wissenschaft passiert.
Für alle Interessierten, Neugierigen, Vorschüler, Schüler, Lehr-
kräfte, Wissensdurstigen und Schlaumeier. Von der Langen
Nacht der Wissenschaften bis zu den Tagen der Forschung. Die

Network for Drug Discovery &
Development (NetDDD)
The Network for Drug Discovery & Development Berlin-Brandenburg was launched in 2007
as an open interdisciplinary initiative with the aim to accelerate the transfer of clinical
relevant findings into innovative drugs and therapeutic concepts. The network was co-
founded by the Leibniz-Institut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) and BioTOP Berlin-
Brandenburg. Next to offering support to research groups working on early drug discovery
projects the NetDDD focuses on networking activities and professional training in the field
of early drug development.
