Lower Saxony Centre for Climate Research

Call for proposals 2024 "Microclimate in urban areas"

Urban areas and their microclimates are particularly hard hit by the effects of climate change - with far-reaching consequences for people, the environment, economic activities, mobility and infrastructures such as energy and water supply. The "Microclimate in urban areas" call for proposals now aims to research the effects of climate change in densely populated areas and to encourage the development of solutions in terms of climate protection and climate adaptation. For this purpose, a cross-location Climate Future Lab is being sought for the Lower Saxony Climate Research Center, which is due to start in summer 2025. The application deadline is 30 October 2024.

To kick off the application phase, the ZKfN office is offering an online event for researchers interested in applying. On 9 July 2024, from 12 pm to 2 pm, participants can ask questions about the call for proposals to the team at the ZKfN office and network with other researchers at the same time. Free registration is possible via the new ZKfN website.

All information on the call for proposals and the information and networking event can be found here: www.zkfn.de/en/call-for-proposals/.
