2. TEACHING

University of Goettingen and HAWK:

  • Research results will be integrated into the new master's program Forest Ecosystem Management and Forestry Bioeconomy at HAWK.
  • Bachelor's and master's theses with a direct reference to the KLIMNEM project.

CIEFAP Esquel (Argentina), Universidad Bariloche (Argentina), Universidad Austral de Chile Valdivia (Chile):

  • Summer School from the 3rd to the 14th of November, 2019 in Esquel (Argentina)
  • Project presentation on the 15th of March, 2023 at Universidad Austral de Chile (Chile) - see here / and here
  • Summer School in February / March 2025 in Bariloche (Argentina) - (proposed)

3. TRANSFER

  • Climate Talks on the 2nd of November 2023 in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
  • In February 2024, weather stations will be set up and put into operation in the Manso Valley. This measure contributes to designing land use in a risk-minimized and adapted manner, while simultaneously sending an important signal for other endangered landscape areas.
