[New methods in polytrauma surgery. Results of a Study Congress at castle Reisenburg 27/28 February 2000].
Recently, in Germany the academic environment has changed and an upheaval occurred that directly do affect academic research activities. Increasingly, the funding of scientific projects is not provided anymore by the universities themselves or the government, but has to be acquired as grants. While in the past, research was conducted by single departments, nowadays and more and more in the future scientific networks have to be established by combining 'local' and even 'distant' knowledge. With this changing background in mind representatives of different scientific institutions met at the Reisensburg castle to discuss the current state and future trends in four major research fields: "Epidemiology of Severe Trauma", "Head Injury", "Pathophysiology of Damage to the Chest", and "Posttraumatic Soft Tissue Injury".
