sDiv is the Synthesis Centre for Biodiversity Sciences, embedded in the active research environment of iDiv. The synthesis centre is an incubator for new ideas – a think tank and place of inherent horizon scanning. Scientific synthesis integrates diverse knowledge to increase the generality and applicability of results and yield novel insights or explanations. It can bring together existing but disparate data, methods, theories, and tools in new and perhaps unexpected ways. Synthesis is a highly varied effort, and its definition will change depending upon the lens of those who undertake it. Synthesis is a means for accelerating scientific understanding that is applicable across multiple places and scales. In biodiversity research, scientific synthesis is what makes it possible to find patterns, answers and solutions to some of the major questions facing science and society.
The sDiv synthesis centre comprises three central instruments: meetings of international working groups, interaction with renowned visiting researchers, iDiv sabbaticals, and synthesis projects carried out by sDiv postdocs. It provides an opportunity to work without distractions and scope intensively for collaboration and idea-sharing to identify solutions to society’s most challenging and complex environmental problems over a several-year period.
