Research Projects
The KLUGER Transfer project stands for knowledge transfer in the fields of climate, environment and health research. The aim is to strengthen the transfer of knowledge from basic research at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) via applied research at the International Center for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) to the public, politics and business. Different formats for targeted exchange are being tested in order to improve communication between science, society and politics.
