With some 1,500 members, it is dedicated to the advancement of science for the benefit of humankind and to the goal of shaping a better future. The Leopoldina represents the German scientific community in international committees and speaks out on social and political questions, providing a nonpartisan, factual framework for discussion. It promotes scientific and public debate, supports young scientists, confers awards for scientific achievements, conducts research projects, and campaigns for the human rights of persecuted scientists.
