Scientific Advisory Board

Experts from various scientific disciplines support the work of the center.

The Scientific Advisory Board supports and advises the ZKfN, and the Administrative Office in particular, on fundamental technical issues. In addition, it bolsters the Centre’s strategic orientation with scientific expertise and develops ideas for subjects to be addressed by new Climate Future Labs.

The Scientific Advisory Board’s members are national and international experts from a wide range of scientific disciplines. They serve on an honorary basis until the end of the first funding phase on 31 December 2027.

“With my vision as a scientist working in the conservation of natural resources with a social- biological approach, but also with the experience of being involved in different national boards related to sustainability and climate change, I am delighted to be able to contribute my knowledge and expertise to the work of the Centre for Climate Research Lower Saxony and its Climate Future Labs.”
