The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Science and Humanities Council have announced the Clusters of Excellence to receive funding from 2026.
Of the five proposals awarded to the Dresden University of Technology, a valued partner of ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES and a University of Excellence, ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES will contribute to two Clusters:
CARE: Climate-Neutral and Resource-Efficient Construction
REC?: Responsible Electronics in the Climate-Change Era
These Clusters address some of the most pressing global challenges and provide a platform for ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES to further our Resource Nexus research within interdisciplinary frameworks.
Prof. Edeltraud Guenther, Director of ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES, remarks:
This is a significant opportunity for ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ-FLORES to integrate the Resource Nexus in key research areas, aligned with ²ÝÁñÊÓÆµ¡¯s new strategy with three key pillars of Knowledge, Partnerships, and Impact.
