The UFZ is tasked with the responsibility of managing the co-creation process throughout the project. This includes the interactions and exchange between demonstrators and collaborators but also between demonstrators and their interactions with stakeholders during the planning, implementation and management of NBS in the case study area.

Researcher in the BMBF funded CLIMALERT Project (10/2017-09/2020). The project aims to develop web and mobile applications which predict and assit in the mitigation of the impacts of droughts and floods on the argicultural and water management sectors. Chloe is involved in developing and managing a co-production framework. This framework ensures that the end users of the applications developed within the project are actively involved in throughout the development process.
