Create a basis. Open up access. Strengthening research.

ZB MED annual report 2024 published

Strong science needs infrastructures and services for efficient research. ZB MED creates these foundations for the life sciences, for example with basic services for research or free access to information. With strong partners, through close cooperation and in strategic networks, our impact is multiplied.

Does it all sound very abstract? Our Annual Report 2024 shows the specific steps taken by ZB MED in 2024 and how we have developed further. It presents further highlights from ZB MED, takes a look behind the scenes and provides an overview of projects, facts and figures. 

The annual report is published exclusively online as a one-pager. In addition to the texts, you can browse through picture galleries, watch videos and inform yourself with interactive infographics. Most of the report is written in German.

We invite you to click through and hope you enjoy reading, watching and scrolling!
