Foreword
The Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz Foundation explores as models new paths of interdisciplinary research, accompanied by a continuous dialogue between theory and practice. In the projects for clarifying the “Interplay between Humanity, Technology and the Environment” sponsored by the foundation, the search for solutions to societally relevant questions is combined with new research methods which are integrated in networks. Interdisciplinary studies in the “Ladenburg Collegia” stand in the programme’s centre of interest and have investigated, among other subjects, “Group Interaction in High-Risk Environments”, the “Zwischenstadt” (City in Between) or the relationship between the “Internal Clock and Shift-Work”. In the “Ladenburg Discourses”, the foundation discusses new research projects, together with scientists and experts from practice. In just such a discourse, the authors of this volume have concerned themselves with the subject of “Engineered Nanoparticles – An Issue for the Next Decades”. Conferences – like the “Berlin Colloquium” – and lectures open to the public additionally bring current scientific topics to the attention of a broader public. Encouragement of young scientists and aid to developing nations are further points of the foundation’s concentration: a fellowship programme finances the stay for doctoral students from all subject areas at
