Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research
Description: "Prominent scientists, political leaders, and media representatives have proclaimed the 21st century to be the "Century of Biology." Unprecedented research efforts are underway in the biological sciences, drawing on massive financial resources, and biological metaphors permeate society more than ever. Biology will increasingly merge with technology and will dramatically influence the ways in which our future societies evolve. Yet, most biological research today follows short-term goals and generates largely unconnected floods of empirical data. Traditional funding sources rarely support projects that analyze the conceptual implications of empirical, biological research and its meaning for the future of science and society. The KLI is committed to fill this void by fostering research that leads to the generation of cross-disciplinary theoretical models which may guide future applied research and decision making. In addition, the KLI serves as a public forum for current results in the biological and cognitive sciences."
