Through Student Projects, the Innovation Pool enables early involvement of students in research on landscape resilience.

Independent project ideas by Bachelor’s and Master’s students at the University of Göttingen are funded, focusing on questions of land use, climate change, and landscape resilience. The projects provide students with the opportunity to implement their own research ideas, gain practical experience, and deepen their scientific skills beyond regular teaching formats.

The focus lies on innovative, creative, and research-oriented approaches, for example through fieldwork, empirical studies, data analysis, literature reviews, or the development of new methods and concepts. At the same time, student projects are expected to contribute to the thematic advancement of the Competence Centre Landscape Resilience and may be linked to ongoing research activities.

The funding aims to sensitise early-career researchers at an early stage to interdisciplinary research questions and to facilitate their entry into independent research.

Target group: Bachelor’s and Master’s students at the University of Göttingen with an interest in land use, environmental and sustainability issues, and landscape resilience
Description: Funding for research and project work conducted alongside studies to address independent research questions in the field of landscape resilience (excluding theses)

There is currently no open call for Student Projects. The next call is expected to be announced in June 2026.
