The strategic orientation
The mechanisms in place to administer and coordinate research are further described in
this material. The strategic orientation of different level research organisations is fostered
through a number of institutions such as the:
German Agricultural Research Alliance (DAFA),
Senate of Federal Research Institutes (Senat der Bundesforschungsinstitute),
German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat der Bundesrepublik),
the Joint Science Conference (Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz GWK4) ,
Bio-Economy Council (Bioökonomierat).
The web-based platform ‘FISA online’ was initiated to support coordination between the
different Länder. It provides an overview of public (federal, state level), private and non-
governmental research institutions in the field of agriculture and food. The information on
previous and current research projects and programmes, however, is rather incomplete
(cf. 4.2.3).
