CAPFLO
In the CAPFLO project we aim at the design of two consistent tools to assess social and civic capacities to cope with flood risk at local level and to apply these later on in 5 pilot urban case studies in different European river basins, which are conducted by all project partner universities.
MONA
MONA will be the first study aimed at a comprehensive comparison of projects with different research modes, and their outputs. The empirical basis is provided by approximately 100 completed third-party funded research projects. You can download a pdf. presentation including the MONA coding scheme here (in German).
Drawing on insights from systems thinking and solution-oriented transdisciplinary research, this project will focus on hitherto under-recognized leverage points – system properties where a small shift can lead to fundamental changes in the system as a whole. Learn more
MULTAGRI will investigate how governance of agricultural landscapes can promote rural development by harnessing landscape and biological diversity as assets that synergistically promote the production of public goods and sustained intensive agricultural production.

Political scientific and other governance-related works have focused- so far - on the state, global institutions, or multi-level systems and ignored "remote" phenomena. Against this background, the goal of GOVERNECT is to make initial results of socio-ecological system research fruitful for governance research. Learn more
GoScaLE
GoScaLE is a project that aims to develop a better understanding of the role that governance scales play in the participatory implementation of (environmental) regulatory policies in complex and nested multi-level systems.
