Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 198122929
The successful implementation of the proposed DFG research group 1740 "Atlantic Freshwater Cycle" requires a well-structured scientific and organizational coordination. The coordination is a scientific and administrative activity that is key for reaching the goals of the research group. The coordinate assistance is essential, working closely together with the coordinator, to ensure support for all subprojects. In detail, the coordination is responsible for the successful implementation and performance of the project and to provide assistance in the networking within the research group, to exchange information, and to stimulate the collaboration between individual TPs. An important task of the coordination will also be to inform the outside world about the work within FOR1740, in enhancing the interaction between the early carrier scientists and organizing regular FOR1740 meetings. The coordination will maintain the project website and be responsible for outreach. The coordination will also have the responsibility of organizing international conferences on freshwater and salinity research.
