DFG Round Table: GeoLaB
Background and Scope
The Helmholtz Association is funding a new research infrastructure GeoLaB - the construction of an underground research laboratory in crystalline rock. We already want to start developing various research programmes for the future GeoLaB. After initial discussions with the DFG, the establishment of a Priority Research Programme (SPP) would be particularly suitable for dealing with aspects of basic research in a structured form. For the preparation of the SPP application, we have organized a DFG roundtable discussion on 26-27.06.2023 in Leipzig (see venue map below).
