What sustainability means in concrete terms for the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft was defined in a project car- ried out by the society’s Sustainability Network and financed by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Executive Board. The Sustain- ability Network has more than 20 member institutes and is chaired by Professor Thomas Hirth. The Fraunhofer IGB was involved in all three sub-projects. As a result of the project, the Executive Board decided to adopt the internationally rec- ognized Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard to further sustainability reporting within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. www.nachhaltigkeit.fraunhofer.de Fraunhofer International Business Development (IBD) Network International cooperations and joint development activities between globally active partners are of strategic importance for Fraunhofer. The Fraunhofer IGB is an active member of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s International Business Development Network where it coordinates the International Position Task Force. This working group examines aspects for internationali- zation strategy from the perspective of the individual institutes. Fraunhofer EU Network The EU Network constitutes a common platform for all Fraun- hofer colleagues involved in promotion of European research. The spirit and purpose of the network is the exchange of in- formation and experience regarding both strategic aspects of funding and how to handle application and tendering proce- dures effectively, as well as how to ensure the smooth imple- mentation of EU financed projects. The EU Network is coor- dinated by Maximilian Steiert from Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft headquarters and Ina Andrees-Ostovan of the Fraunhofer IGB. EU Working Group for Research and Technological Development Organizations in Baden-Württemberg The Fraunhofer IGB is a member of the EU Working Group for Research and Technological Development Organizations (RTOs) in Baden-Württemberg, which aims to promote the re- gional exchange of information on the topic of EU grants for non-university research establishments.
