Protect Baltic: Protection and restoration measures for a resilient Baltic Sea ecosystem

2023-2028
funded by: Europäische Union (EU)
Given the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, Protect Baltic aims to evaluate and optimise the existing network of marine protected areas in the Baltic Sea and thus makes a positive contribution to biodiversity and the protection of marine ecosystems. Tog... more

Northwestern Lower Saxony - Sustainable New (4N): Geo-Toolbox

2021-2026
funded by: Niedersächsisches Vorab
Transformation and structural change in rural areas mean changes in space and time. Such spatiotemporal data is to be managed and processed by our “Geo-Toolbox”. It uses digital technologies such as databases and geographic information systems &#... more
