Against the backdrop of the current protests against right-wing extremism, the Alliance of Science Organisations has published a statement. It emphatically condemns "any kind of anti-democratic and inhuman endeavors".
The German Centers for Health Research (DZG), of which the DZD is a member, unequivocally endorse this commitment against intolerance and racism.

With around 7,000 collaborators from a wide range of backgrounds, the DZG is the largest health research network in Germany. This biographical diversity is "an essential prerequisite for the success of research and therefore for the best treatment of patients", according to the DZG.

The Alliance of Science Organisations is an association of the most important science and research organizations in Germany. It regularly comments on issues of science policy, research funding and the structural development of the German science system.
