The ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research Rostock is a network of 4 Leibniz Institutes, the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology and the University of Rostock (partners). From these partners, a total of 45 working groups are conducting research on phosphorus-relevant subjects.
The core competences of LIKAT are in the field of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, from basic research on new catalytic reactions and catalysts, from screening to optimisation and industrial-scale transfer of the reactions, to characterisation of the intermediate steps and reaction mechanisms using a broad range of spectroscopic methods. Naturally, in homogeneous catalysis organophosphorus compounds, especially in relation to transitional metals, play a prominent role and because of their structural versatility they assume an important position in ligand systems and in the form of organocatalysts.

The IOW is dedicated to interdisciplinary marine research in coastal and marginal sees, especially research of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Its research departments are Physical Oceanography, Marine Chemistry, Biological Oceanography and Marine Geology. Besides basic research in marine science, the focus includes oceanography studies at the University of Rostock and the University of Greifswald. Furthermore, the environmental status of the Baltic Sea is monitored, e.g. the development of mineral nutrients concentrations and soluble and particulate substances such as organophosphorus compounds. To this end, the IOW can fall back on a large dataset that is linked internationally through the HELCOM treaty. It collaborates on the definition, monitoring and updating of national and international water protection agreements.

As an internationally renowned research centre in the field of crop plant research, the IPK works on problems of modern biology in basic and applied research, with priority given to crop plants. The central concern is investigation of the genetic diversity of wild and cultivated plants. The internationally recognised crop bank (IPK-Genbank) primarily deals with the preservation, characterisation, evaluation and documentation of plant genetic resources. As the headquarters of the Satellite Collections North of the IPK-Genbank in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the Gross Lüsewitz potato collections currently maintain and handle 6124 different potato accessions at their location in Gross Lüsewitz, with 1300 genotypes stored in liquid nitrogen in the main institute in Gatersleben.

The Greifswald INP is Europe's largest non-university research centre for low-temperature plasma, its basis and its technical application. The goal, on the one hand, is application-oriented basic research and, on the other, the optimisation as well as the development of established plasma-supported methods and products. Currently, environmental engineering, energy technology, surface and material science as well as interdisciplinary subjects in biology and medicine are the central fields of interest. Existing knowledge and advanced technological equipment should allow the utilisation of sparingly soluble phosphate raw materials by low-temperature-plasma treatment. This may allow the recycling of raw material sources such as animal meal, plant residues or phosphate-animal sludge.

The FBN Dummerstorf conducts research on the system-level functionality of livestock with the aim of animal-, resource-, climate- and environmentally-friendly animal husbandry as the basis of balanced agricultural production. The sustainable production of animal foodstuffs requires a comprehensive understanding of the performance characteristics and their differences among farm animals, which, scientifically, is possible only by a holistic observation of the interaction between life processes and different animal environments and means of production. The aim is to better understand the genetic and physiological bases of the different functions of the animal organism in order to derive innovative methods, technologies and product development as well as the foundations for regulations and support measures.

The University of Rostock is one of the three oldest universities in Germany. Participating in the Leibniz ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research are five departments of the University of Rostock: Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (AUF), Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MNF), Law (JUF) and the University Hospital. The ScienceCampus is part of the Interdisciplinary Department (INF).
The participating departments of the AUF pool research capacities in the elucidation and optimisation of P cycles in ground–water–plant–animal systems. Additional areas of research are the technological development and optimisation of methods for the sustainable use of biological and secondary raw materials in closed P fluxes.

The INF merges the various scientific disciplines of the University of Rostock beyond their original subject limits into four interdisciplinary areas. These departments work on thematically focussed, future-oriented topics: "Life, Light and Material", "Maritime Systems", "Successful Aging" and Knowledge–Culture–Transformation". The first two research lines contribute significantly to the Leibniz ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research, especially "Maritime Systems" with its research focus on coasts. It is here that the ScienceCampus is assigned.
In the context of the Leibniz ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research the JUF is dedicated to environmental-law problems of sustainability as the basis for creating a better legislative framework allowing for sufficient and efficient P use and recovery strategies. Thus there is close cooperation with the Research Unit Sustainability and Climate Policy.
