Three networks were initiated and set up from various co-operations arising from the projects.
Research approach
The approach used to further social-ecological research perspectives was taken up via three newly formed networks: regionally within the "Transdisciplinary Environmental Sciences" network, nationally within a research network for lifestyle analysis, and internationally within a European water network.
A main focus here was to extend existing research collaborations with the region's universities and to develop social-ecological courses of study.
