Senate Commission on Water Research
The Senate Commission on Water Research provides advice on the DFG's funding programmes, promotes interdisciplinary and international collaboration, advises on core work areas and developmental trends, and supports coordination activities with other funding organisations active in the field of water research.
An important task of the commission is to help the interdisciplinary field of water research organise itself by enhancing communication between scientists and individual research areas.
The commission’s primary objective is to advance basic research in this field. In addition, it also supports the transfer of basic research findings to applied science with the goal of creating practical models to help solve national and global challenges.
