Section overview
Description
KATALYSE, the Cologne Institute for Applied Environmental Research, was one of the first independent environmental institutes in Germany. Since 1978, our team of scientists, drawn from a broad range of disciplines, has been working to protect the environment and human health and to promote sustainable
development in North and South.
The name KATALYSE – meaning CATALYSIS – reflects on our aim to speed processes up or direct them onto a different path. We view ourselves as a ‘think tank’ for viable concepts on the path towards sustainable development.
We see our work within a social-ecological research perspective, applying methods and tools drawn from classic environmental research to address the complex issues of globalizing environmental and development problems.
As a non-profit organization, we finance ourselves through project funding, donations, sustaining members and contract work. This makes us independent and furthermore we are able to take a critical stance in our environmental research and consumer advocacy.
