The Funding Atlas is a reporting system (previously referred to as the Funding Ranking) employed by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to provide information in the form of indicators of key developments in publicly funded research in Germany every three years. This English version of the Funding Atlas 2012 presents selected findings from the more comprehensive German edition. At the core of the report are indicators that provide information on which subject areas have received funding at higher education and other research institutions in the period 2008-2010. This report also includes, as a supplement not found in the German edition, the decisions on the Excellence Initiative, which were taken shortly after the German edition of the Funding Atlas 2012 was published. The report also addresses the subject of internationality by presenting selected indicators that show how attractive Germany?s research institutions are for visiting scientists. In summary, the DFG Funding Atlas furnishes reliable indicators of the effectiveness and competitiveness of publicly funded research in Germany. It documents how research locations are developing their profiles and their attractiveness for international scientists.

In this work written in English and German three major and prestigious scientific bodies -- the German Research Foundation, the German Academy of Science and Engineering and the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina -- summarize their opinions and approach towards synthetic biology. As a result, non-specialists will learn about this new field, not only in view of the scientific topics but also with regard to economic, ethical and social aspects.

* MAK values (Maximum Concentrations at the Workplace) and BAT values (Biological Tolerance Values) promote the protection of health at the workplace. They are an efficient indicator for the toxic potential of chemical compounds. This book contains a list of scientifically recommended threshold limit values for about 1000 chemical compounds. Carcinogens, germ cell mutagens, embryotoxicants, sensitizing substances and those potentially bearing a risk to pregnancy are treated separately. * Of particular value are the lists of substances which were reviewed in the past 12 months, including substances being examined for the establishment of MAK and BAT values in coming years.
