Markus Scholz | Leopoldina
The Leopoldina and the SCJ are committed to raising the profile of the scientific communities in both countries and intensifying dialogue. They work together on international policy advice, for example on statements for G7 and G20 summits, and are involved in the STS Forum, which brings together leading international representatives from science, politics and business. The President of the Leopoldina is a member of the STS Forum Council.
The Leopoldina has long maintained good contacts with Japan, and Japanese scientists are members of the Academy, including Nobel Prize winner Satoshi Omura.
