Central Coordination Office

The central coordination office supports the successful implementation of the research initiative by promoting exchange between the initiative’s different research projects and fostering dialogue with the larger scientific community and stakeholders from politics, business, administration, and civil society. It is also responsible for accompanying research in the form of synthesis publications, which can facilitate orientation in the public discussion on the topic of biological diversity.
