With its research areas, the IZNE focuses on social and ecological topics of sustainable development. The focus of the four professors who head the centre is on "Responsible Economy and Natural Resources" (Prof. Dr. Wiltrud Terlau), "Health and Social Protection" (Prof. Dr. Katja Bender), "Soils and Biomass" (Prof. Dr. Martin Hamer) and "Sustainable Technologies and Resource Use" (Prof. Dr. Stefanie Meilinger).
The newly formed advisory board is to provide expert advice. It has the task of commenting on the professional performance of the IZNE, to participate in an advisory capacity in the development of medium and long-term goals, to promote cooperation with other institutions and to provide professional advice in the run-up to decisions upon request.
„I hope that the advisory board will provide us with a variety of impulses for our future research projects in order to find suitable answers to the global challenges.”
Prof. Dr. Martin Hamer - Professor of Soils and Biomass / Director of the International Centre for Sustainable Development (IZNE)/ Department of Applied Natural Sciences
