Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Who they are

Among the 126 think tanks and research institutions on this site, they rank #61 by legislative files engaged — a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

What they argued

Revision of EU rules on public procurementfiled 26 Jan 2026PDFsource

The market for large research equipment is highly concentrated in many areas, with few dominant global suppliers (e.g. electron microscopy, MS/NMR spectroscopy). High patent protection and customer loyalty through proprietary software and methodology development further restrict competition.

Filed in German · English published by the European Commission

Options for support for R&D of dual-use technologiesfiled 30 Apr 2024PDFsource

The Leibniz Association supports Option 1 as preferred approach due to the reasons outlined below. The Leibniz Association endorses Option 1 as the preferable choice for researchers and research organizations due to its clear, continuous, and reliable structure that maintains the appeal of the EU research funding programme.

Turns up on the same files

Organizations that also filed on at least two of the same consultations. A shared interest in the same dossiers — not evidence of coordination, and we do not suggest any.

Is this your organization?

Everything on this page comes from Leibniz Association’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.

Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
