International Bureau is promoting Science cooperation with New Zealand
The climate project CO2-Navigator is granted an additional funding by the International Bureau. The International Bureau has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to strengthen the international ties of German universities, research institutes and enterprises with the ultimate goal of building competencies and fostering competitive advantages for industry and the research community. For almost three months the two researchers Gabriel Weber and Martin Nowack will extend the empirical pretest of the CO2-navigator Software to New Zealand. In cooperation with the Kiwi hosting organization the New Zealand Institute for Economic Research (NZIER) interviews with the most important New Zealand Companies and in depth-case studies will be conducted. Furthermore the attendance in the International Conference on Sustainability Engineering and Science and speeches in the NZIER are scheduled.
