The DIL is one of the three founding partners of ZERN and is responsible for the initial project in the grassland topic area and the young scientists group “Micro- and Nanostructures of Food”. The DIL is also involved in the initial project in the livestock thematic area with a focus on natural product chemistry.
The University of Göttingen is one of the three founding partners of ZERN. It is involved in all three initial ZERN projects. The young scientists group “Food Economics and Policy” is also based at the University of Göttingen and is organized there as a junior professorship.
The University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation is one of the three founding partners of ZERN and is responsible for the initial project in the livestock topic area “Future-oriented pig farming” and the young scientists group “Sustainable livestock farming”.
The Grassland Center is contributing scientific and practical expertise to the initial grassland project “Utilization of protein from green biomass”.
Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences is supporting the grassland project “Utilization of protein from green biomass” and is working on the area of harvesting and post-harvesting.
Leibniz University Hannover is a partner in the arable farming project “Adaptation strategies for arable farming in Lower Saxony” in the field of soil science and carbon cycles.
Osnabrück University is taking on a work package in the arable farming sub-project and is providing support with its outstanding expertise in the field of artificial intelligence in precision farming.
trafo:agrar provides support with its network and, above all, with its wide-ranging expertise in the field of transformation to ensure that the research results in the ZERN network are also applied in practice and that the knowledge gained is disseminated in a targeted manner.
The ZDIN supports the ZERN network by using the ZDIN's extensive network to provide information about new events or project calls. This provides the ZERN network with an important platform for greater visibility.
In order to bring the results and events of ZERN - especially in the nutrition context - to the right target group(s), ZEHN supports us with its expertise and network.
Thanks to its many years of experience in interdisciplinary research and teaching on human eating behaviour and its research activities between nutritional science, psychology, education and medicine, the Institute for Nutritional Psychology is a valuable partner and supports ZERN by organizing events.
In 2020, the Institute of Nutritional Psychology, in cooperation with Culinary Medicine Deutschland e.V., launched the “Culinary Medicine” teaching format and research project at the University Medical Center of the Georg August University of Göttingen, for which ZERN is an ideal partner for communication with science and consumers.
