Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum DBFZ
From 2009 to 2014, I was coordinating a scientific program with the objective to establish research collaboration and information exchange between leading German and Eastern European scientists and research institutions in the area of bioenergy. This case study (in German) provides an overview on the network activities and outcomes.
The Federal German Government represented by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) is the sole shareholder of DBFZ.
The project was funded by the German Climate Initiative under the German Federal Ministry Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (FKZ-Nr. 03KB036).
In 2012, the network was awarded “Innovative Network” under the “Germany – Land of Ideas” program - a joint program of the German Federal Government and the Federation of German Industries (BDI).
In 2014 and following the political developments in Ukraine and the Russian Federation, the scientific networking activities came to standstill.
