The Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) is Germany’s largest and one of the leading international research centres for freshwaters. Our vision is the understanding of all fundamental processes in freshwaters and their communities, including their biodiversity, ecosystem services and responses to global change. Our research findings help to tackle global environmental changes and to develop measures conductive to sustainable freshwater management – true to our guiding principle “Research for the future of our freshwaters”.
