National and international collaborations

Our two large projects International Quality Network Georisk (2001-2004; about 16 international partner universities) and the Marie-Curie Research Training Netzwerk SPICE (2003-2007, 14 european partner universities) as welll as the International Graduate College THESIS (2004 - 2009).
