INNOVATION GROUPS

Regional collaborative projects

in interdisciplinary exchange

REGULUS innovation groups

Currently, ten regional REGULUS innovation groups conduct interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research across Germany.


The different REGULUS innovation groups, made up of various institutions and practice partners, focus on the practicality and future impact of their work and results.


The targeted promotion of innovation processes is a key feature that is significantly supported by the connection of the different REGULUS innovation groups.

ResEt-Fi

Development of multifunctional forests on disturbed spruce areas: The large-scale clearing of dead forests is neither ecologically nor economically sensible or socially acceptable. ResEt-Fi is investigating management strategies in Thuringia that include deadwood concepts as an integral part of the development of multifunctional forests.

A-DUR

Revitalized floodplain forests, their dynamics and resilience are being researched in the project "A-DUR". The main focus is on how changes in land use impact nature and society along the river Mittlere Isar. Based on this, evidence-based recommendations are developed for managing floodplain forests located close to the city. The results will also be incorporated into educational programs.

ADAPT-Wald-Holz

Development of an adaptive forest and wood management system for the region of Brandenburg-Berlin, using Scots pine as a case study. The focus is on a regional value chain that conserves ecosystems and resources - from forest management to wood supply to wood processing. Within the transdisciplinary network "InnoForum Wald-Holz", research needs are identified and addressed in collaboration with practitioners, with results shared with the public.
