Montag 23.03.2026, 12:00 → 13:00 Europe/Berlin

GEOMAR uses its annual Flexible Funds Calls to promote strategic measures which include the facilitation of excellent research, capacity development and the creation of research opportunities.

In addition, the Transfer office is launching another round of its "Innovation Call" to identify and fund innovative research ideas that have the potential to be transformed into marketable products, services or socially relevant applications.

In this short lunch session, we wish to briefly introduce the various internal calls for 2026 and open the floor for any questions.
