RESEARCH NETWORKS
Landscape Tomorrow 

is a European research network which brings together the European expertise in the field of land use and landscape science and rural development.

Leibniz
AGRI RESEARCH
The cluster acts as a competence network and was established to cover important tasks of the scientific activity related to ‘knowledge based bio-economy’ on the national, EU or international level. The network is open to enlargements and thus invites interested research facilities to collaborate.
The network starts with the 'knowledge based bio-economy'. Future fields will follow.
Ecosystem Services Partnership The ES-Partnership aims to enhance communication, coordination and cooperation, and to build a strong network of individuals and organizations. ES-Partnership will enhance and encourage a diversity of approaches, while reducing unnecessary duplication of effort in the conceptualization and application of ecosystem services. By raising the profile of ecosystem services and promoting better practice, the ES-Partnership will also increase opportunities for financial support and help focus the funding of individual organizations for more efficient utilization of existing funds.
