45 Dr. Birgit Haller Phone +49 711 970-4083 birgit.haller@igb.fraunhofer.de ContactDialog with stakeholders How can we utilize biomass sustainably now and in the future and what contribution can research make to this? These were some of the questions asked at the first Fraunhofer Research Dialog, a series of events started in November 2013 in the spirit of getting our stakeholders involved in the development of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Representatives from science, politics, industry and society discussed this key Fraunhofer IGB research topic as well as further subjects. A guide for research organizations With its varied activities relating to sustainable development, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has assumed a vanguard role in the German research landscape. Therefore Fraunhofer has been tasked by the Federal Ministry of Education and Re- search (BMBF) to initiate a joint research project with other major non-university research institutions (Helmholtz Associa- tion and the Leibniz Association), based on its own experi- ence. The project was launched in December 2013, with the participation of the Fraunhofer IGB. The scientific objective is to develop an approach that serves all facilities, centers and institutes as a guide to research-specific sustainability man- agement.
