The Deutsches Nationalkomitee Biologie (abbreviated DNK, German National Committee of Biology in English) is a scientific non-profit and non-governmental organisation which represents German biologists on an international level. It is embedded in an international hierarchy. The DNK acts on behalf of many biological societies to ensure their scientific and political interests in the international boards of the ''International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU)'', and especially in the ''International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS)'' and the ''International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS)''. == Duties and Objectives == The DNK has three major duties: * It draws up and proposes scientific programs to the ICSU. * It informs about programs and activities and links the ICSU, the IUBS and the IUMS with German biologists by furthering information flow via its website. * It designates representatives for the committees and executive boards of the ICSU, the IUBS, the IUMS, and their scientific sections. The DNK furthers scientific programs through national and international meetings or conferences as well as with project-specific research support und funding. The DNK does not support single scientific projects; this is covered by the German Research Foundation (DFG) or the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) or the State Ministries for Science and Research. For example the DNK had proposed that the IUBS plays a part in the ABS programme (''Access and Benefit Sharing'') at the ''Rio Convention on Biological Diversity''. In May 2008 the DNK stimulated 〔VBIO newsletter, page 4: ()''〕 the scientific meeting ''Biodiversity Research'' - ''Safeguarding the Future''.〔official website of the conference ''Biodiversity Research'' - ''Safeguarding the Future'' ()''〕 This conference was preceding the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP9) of the Convention on Biological Diversity taking place in May 2008 in Germany. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deutsches Nationalkomitee Biologie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
