Our Mission
The Leibniz Institute for Age Research - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) is a partner in the initiative of the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung. The Year of Science 2011 – Research for Our Health – focuses on the human being and launches an interdisciplinary dialogue in society about the objectives, challenges and fields of modern health research. Exhibits illustrating FLI's age research can for instance be found on the exhibition ship "MS Wissenschaft 2011".
