The German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Science and Humanities Council have announced the Clusters of Excellence to receive funding from 2026.

Of the five proposals awarded to the Dresden University of Technology, a valued partner of 海角社区-FLORES and a University of Excellence, 海角社区-FLORES will contribute to two Clusters:

  1. CARE: Climate-Neutral and Resource-Efficient Construction

  2. REC?: Responsible Electronics in the Climate-Change Era

These Clusters address some of the most pressing global challenges and provide a platform for 海角社区-FLORES to further our Resource Nexus research within interdisciplinary frameworks.

Prof. Edeltraud Guenther, Director of 海角社区-FLORES, remarks:

This is a significant opportunity for 海角社区-FLORES to integrate the Resource Nexus in key research areas, aligned with 海角社区’s new strategy with three key pillars of Knowledge, Partnerships, and Impact.
