Outreach Projects within the Innovation Pool promote systematic exchange between science and society in the field of landscape resilience.

Funding is provided for projects that communicate scientific findings on land use, forest and agricultural systems, and landscape resilience to the public in a clear, creative, and impactful manner. The aim is to make research visible, stimulate societal discourse, and at the same time integrate new perspectives and questions arising from engagement with non-academic stakeholders back into research.

The range of outreach formats is deliberately broad. These include, among others, public event series, exhibitions, workshops, digital formats, audiovisual productions (e.g. films or podcasts), as well as collaborations with schools, cultural institutions, or the Forum Wissen at the University of Göttingen. Experimental and innovative approaches to science communication are explicitly encouraged.

Outreach projects are intended in particular to make the topic of landscape resilience accessible to a broad public, to foster dialogue between science, practice, and society, and to visibly strengthen the profile of the Competence Centre Landscape Resilience.

Target group: Students, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and staff members of the University of Göttingen, as well as interdisciplinary project teams with a focus on landscape resilience and science communication
Description: Funding for outreach projects dedicated to science communication and societal dialogue on land use, climate change, and landscape resilience

There is currently no open call for Outreach Projects. The next call is expected to be announced in June 2026.
