In 2012, Klaus Tochtermann initiated the Leibniz Research Alliance Science 2.0.[4] This research alliance addresses the question of how the participatory Internet (e.g. Social Media) changes research and publishing processes, and how information infrastructure institutions can participate in the shaping of these changes.

In 2014, the ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics headed by Klaus Tochtermann received the national “Library of the Year 2014” award [5] from the German Library Association (dbv).
