research organization
An organization or association of researchers and scientific institutions that jointly carry out or fund research projects. A well-known example is the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
Die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft fördert dieses Projekt mit erheblichen Mitteln.
The German Research Foundation is funding this project with substantial resources.
The word consists of 'Forschung' (research) and 'Gemeinschaft' (community), connected by an 's'. It literally means a 'Gemeinschaft der Forschung' (community of research).
Die internationale Forschungsgemeinschaft trifft sich jährlich zu einer großen Konferenz.
The international research community meets annually at a major conference.
'Forschungsgemeinschaft' (research community/research organization) is a formal term from the academic and scientific sphere. It is used in publications, at universities, or in science policy.
Der Aufsatz wurde in einer Fachzeitschrift veröffentlicht, die in der Forschungsgemeinschaft hohes Ansehen genießt.
The article was published in a specialist journal that enjoys high esteem in the research community.
When a specific organization is meant, 'Forschungsgemeinschaft' is often capitalized as part of a proper name, as in 'Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft' (German Research Foundation, DFG).
Er hat einen Förderantrag bei der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft gestellt.
He submitted a funding application to the German Research Foundation.
When the word refers to the body of scientists as a whole, it is used generally and often with prepositions such as 'innerhalb der' (within the) or 'in der' (in the).
Die neuen Thesen werden innerhalb der Forschungsgemeinschaft kontrovers diskutiert.
The new theses are being discussed controversially within the research community.
research institution
'Forschungseinrichtung' and 'Forschungsgemeinschaft' are both connected with science and research. A 'Forschungseinrichtung' is a concrete place or institution, for example an institute, a laboratory, or a university. A 'Forschungsgemeinschaft', on the other hand, is an association of researchers and institutions, or the group of scientists in a field. They can be confused because both words sound formal and appear in research contexts. In practice, use 'Forschungseinrichtung' for a building or institute, and 'Forschungsgemeinschaft' for cooperation, funding, or the scientific community.
Die Forschungsgemeinschaft unterstützt das Projekt mit Geld und Beratung.
The research community is supporting the project with funding and advice.
