Research Projects

KLUGER Transfer - Climate - Environment - Health - Transfer

The aim is to develop and test new methods and instruments for institutionalised transfer cooperation between non-university research institutions (AUF) and universities of applied sciences (HAW), using the example of global climate and environmental change and associated in-depth effects. A continuous multi-stage transfer chain from basic research via applied research and teaching - as a "transfer hinge" - to society, the economy and politics will be developed. Suitable and innovative formats will be analysed and implemented to create a sustainable system of transfer and knowledge transfer into practice, and an accompanying transfer study will be conducted.
