When printing the research magazine, we only use wood that
comes from responsible forestry. We print climate neutrally
and support important environmental projects. In 2023, we
supported the reforestation of mixed forests in Germany
and reforestation in the Amazon. In 2022 we donated to
the Freiburg city forest. In 2021, we supported
a mountain forest and climate project in the
Allgäu region (Germany). For the 2020 issue, we
donated money to the climate protection project at Virunga
National Park in the D.R. Congo to protect the habitat
of mountain gorrilas. For the 2019 edition, we financially
supported regional projects in the Harz Mountains, Germany.
All topics are discussed or
determined together with the Research and Young Scientific
Academics Commission, the Research Funding Unit and Prof.
Dr. Thomas Mannel, the Prorector for Research and Junior
Scientists. The main requirement for the decision is that
it is cutting-edge research that is
future-oriented.
