Current Project
Completed ProjectSince its inception, ZMT has supported the establishment of infrastructures with partners in tropical countries. The former field station in Bragança (Brazil), initiated during the MADAM programme, was the nucleus for a nowadays well-established research institute run by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA, Campus Bragança). The field station at the International Tropical Marine and Earth Science Laboratory (ITMEL, Indonesia) was jointly developed and operated with local partner Universitas Jenderal Soedirman during the SPICE project. Both are prime examples of the strategy of support and hand-over.
Regional foci of research and capacity development projects are in:
- South-East Asia
- Africa (sub-Sahara)
- Atlantic
- South America
- Pacific
