Modelling Assisted Solid State Materials Development and Additive Manufacturing (MA.D.AM)
ERC Consolidator Grant
Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr. Benjamin Klusemann, Institute of Product and Process Innovation (Leuphana) & Institute of Materials Mechanics/Solid State Joining Processes (Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon)
Host Institution: Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon
Funding Period: 1.6.2021 - 31.5.2026
The MA.D.AM project addresses the strong need of wire-based additive manufacturing (AM) for customized value-added metallic materials that are not established yet. The project aims at establishing novel scientific knowledge for the fabrication of novel wire materials and AM parts with hitherto not reached properties, based on the application of high-strength Al-Cu-Li alloys, as cutting-edge candidates for AM in aerospace applications.

Identifying Social-Ecological System Properties Benefiting Biodiversity and Food Security (SESyP)
ERC Consolidator Grant
Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr. Jörn Fischer, Institute of Ecology
Funding Period: 1.6.2014 - 31.5.2019
Ensuring food security and halting biodiversity decline are two of the most urgent (and interconnected) challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. Drawing on both the natural and social sciences, the project implements an interdisciplinary research agenda to address these challenges. The goal is to develop and test a global theory that explains which properties of social-ecological systems benefit both biodiversity conservation and food security (and which may benefit one but not the other).

Evaluating the Delivery of Participatory Environmental Governance Using an Evidence-Based Research Design (EDGE)
ERC Starting Grant
Principal Investigator: Prof. Dr. Jens Newig, Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Communication
Funding Period: 1.4.2011 - 31.3.2016
Participation of citizens and stakeholders in environmental governance is widely believed to enhance environmental policy outcomes. This instrumental claim has, however, been challenged both on theoretical grounds and due to a lack of reliable evidence. Numerous single case studies are available, providing a rich, but scattered and yet un-tapped source of data. EDGE aims to drastically improve the state of scientific knowledge on whether and under what conditions participation actually improves policy delivery in environmental governance. (More)
