Framework


Initiator: Funding programmes:

One of the major challenges is to secure prosperity without destroying the natural bases of our lives. In order to reach this goal, the Federal Government counts on sustainability. Sustainability is more than just the protection of the environment. Apart from ecological purposes, sustainability also comprises economic and social aims. These, however, can only be reached if scientists, industry representatives and further societal groups establish close communication to develop sustainable innovations. Against this background, the Federal Cabinet adopted the new Framework Programme 'Research for Sustainability' on 30th June 2004. National research funding into sustainability is closely connected to European research funding. On behalf of the European Commission, Project Management Jülich contributes to this coordination with its National Contact Points (NCPs) and its NCP Network Environment. Beyond that, Project Management Jülich is involved in three ERA-NET projects.
