Call for proposals

This call for proposals supports the establishment and implementation of a research consortium to address the microclimate in urban areas as part of the Climate Future Labs of the Lower Saxony Centre for Climate Research (ZKfN). The aim of the Climate Future Labs is to develop multidisciplinary solutions for a safe and just climate future and to establish and expand a broad (scientific) network in Lower Saxony and beyond. Through transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research and by linking both university and non-university researchers as well as implementation partners from business and the community, the intention is to develop urgently needed approaches for changing our lifestyles and economic practices in a way that will be environmentally, socially and economically viable and sustainable. The aim of this year’s call for proposals for support is to research the impact of climate change in urban areas, with the involvement of cities, municipal authorities and citizens, and to develop approaches that promote climate protection and adaptation.

The Climate Future Labs are funded by the zukunft.niedersachsen program of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation. You can also find the call for proposals on the zukunft.niedersachsen website.
