Creating Climate Change Collaboration (4C)

Building on their long-standing partnership, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts and California State University aim to support collaboration among researchers in the search for solutions to the problem of global climate change. The target of the 2026 program line and the 2027 program line within the state program is to initiate collaborations between researchers from Baden-Württemberg and California State University, within which questions about climate change will be addressed and the associated challenges will be discussed from a scientific perspective.
