About the Journal
FUTURA - the international journal of our foundation.
Since its first publication in 1986, FUTURA has published reviews and discourses on biomedical research, as well as contributions on the social and political framework of the foundation's scientific focus. The first and foremost task of FUTURA, however, is to provide information on the work of the foundation, e.g. by reporting on the research supported by the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds in a form that is both readable to those in the field and understandable to scientists outside the immediate discipline.
Opinions expressed in FUTURA may not automatically be assumed to be the official standpoint of the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. This is particularly the case when the article is accompanied by the name of the author(s).
FUTURA is published - in print and part of it as online edition - three times a year. It is distributed free of charge to all those involved or interested in the foundation, i.e. to all current and former fellowship holders and their supervisors, to peers, reviewers, to our donors as well as to individuals and institutions interested in biomedical research.
