Third party funded projects

Our portfolio addresses primarily public and private entities, but also scientists and third-party donors, if the projects thereby initiated directly address our objectives.

The achievement of our objectives – networking, strengthening of the knowledge base, development of new prototypical climate service products and services, training – is realized by initiation and implementation of different internal projects as well as by participation in national and international third-party financed research projects (e.g. financed to a certain extent by EU or BMBF).
