This document summarizes a meeting of the Joint Synthesis Centre. It discusses the mission of providing the scientific foundation for sustainable biodiversity management. It outlines the network of competences across different institutions in Leipzig, Jena and Halle. It also discusses the specifics of the sDiv centre, including its focus on integration across theories, empirical work, scales and disciplines. Finally, it proposes ideas for collaboration between synthesis centres, such as developing expertise databases, exchanging proposals and surveys, and holding joint workshops.

- 19. Truth be told • Call text „Advanced study institute“, i.e. Germany wanted to have its own NCEAS • sDiv is basically designed to mimic NCEAS (with a pinch of the ARC Vegetation Function Network) • But there are some differences…
- 20. Specifics • „Cheaper“: sDiv has less funding than NCEAS • No retreat: sDiv is embedded in a permanent research centre; market place • Part of iDiv: sDiv is desigend to form a functional unit with the iDiv centre (and receives support) • Steering committee: purely German; strong iDiv participation; so far no external review

- 27. Why together?
- 28. Why together? • Make a case why funding agencies should channel more money into synthesis centres
- 29. Why together? • Make a case why funding agencies should channel more money into synthesis centres • Future business models?
- 30. Why together? • Make a case why funding agencies should channel more money into synthesis centres • Future business models? • Despite all diversity: Joint quality standards What makes a good synthesis centre? Prove quality – How?
- 31. Why together? • Make a case why funding agencies should channel more money into synthesis centres • Future business models? • Despite all diversity: Joint quality standards What makes a good synthesis centre? Prove quality – How? • Jointly advertise expertise
- 32. Why together? • Make a case why funding agencies should channel more money into synthesis centres • Future business models? • Despite all diversity: Joint quality standards What makes a good synthesis centre? Prove quality – How? • Jointly advertise expertise • Link/offers to FutureEarth, IPBES, etc.
- 33. Ideas for collaboration • Expert / competence databases • Pass on information on declined workshop proposals • Exchange survey forms and software • Joint programs (e.g. SESYNC/sDiv/UFZ) • Parallel twin/triplett workshops in several centres (theory / meta-analysis / application)
