Current Projects

ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµâ€™s institutional funding is provided by the Programme-oriented Funding () of the Helmholtz Association. Together with other Helmholtz Centres in the research field , ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ has developed a joint research programme: „Changing Earth – Sustaining our Future“.

In addition, ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ collaborates with numerous partners at local, national, and international level in third-party funded projects. These projects are essential to drive scientific innovation and enable specialised research across disciplinary and national boundaries.



Research missions of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM)

The transdisciplinary research missions of the German Marine Research Alliance () address pressing and socially relevant challenges in marine science. ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ participates in all three DAM research missions. The CDRmare mission on marine carbon storage is coordinated at ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ, as are several research consortia within all three missions.



ERC Grants 

The European Research Council () supports investigator-driven frontier research. ºÚÁÏÊÓÆµ is currently coordinating one ERC Advanced Grant and two ERC Synergy Grants. Recipients of Starting Grants and Consolidator Grants can be found on the page Early Career Research Groups.
