Environmental Research Plan 2014 now online | Umweltbundesamt

All of the research projects which are relevant to the environment can be looked up here: http://www.bmu.de/themen/forschung-foerderung/forschung/forschungsrahmen-ufoplan/. The research projects will begin in 2014. The web site identifies the project topic, the research project code number and the corresponding supervisory department at the Federal Environment Agency. The UBA will announce calls for proposals for most of the projects in a competitive procedure. The relevant tendering procedures will be announced in due time on the central Internet portal of the Federal Government: www.bund.de and on the Federal Environment Agency's web page.
 
For certain projects institutions and businesses with a substantiated personal interest in one or more of the research projects can register their interest in taking up a public project funding project (grant). Please address the Federal Environment Agency in writing by Wednesday, 15 January 2014 at: Division Z 6/ Bereich UFOPLAN, Postfach 1406, 06813 Dessau-Roßlau (e-mail not accepted). The selected project topics are announced at  "Ausschreibungen und Zuwendungen" (in German).
 
Interested parties should provide the following information:

• research topic (in accordance with announced heading) and research code number (FKZ)
• proof of expertise and ability – for example through prior pertinent research work or scientific publications,
• proof of staff and technical capacity, declaration of personal interest and possibilities of co-financing.

 
Note: For the sake of prompt processing, the UBA kindly asks that separate statements of interest be submitted for each individual project. The responsible expert division at the Federal Environment Agency will evaluate all applications received. Depending on outcome of this evaluation, invitations to submit a formal application may follow. Applicants will not receive notification from the Federal Environment Agency in the event that statements of interest are not taken into closer consideration. The inclusion of a project in the Environmental Research Plan 2014 does not automatically result in actual award of said project by UBA.
