How does climate change impact health, water, nutrition, and biodiversity—and what solutions can science develop?
The time has come! It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the second Bavarian Climate Research Network. Following an intensive evaluation process, six interdisciplinary research projects have been selected. Together, they form the new bayklif2 network, which will focus on finding practical answers to the challenges climate change poses for Bavaria.
To mark the official start of bayklif2 in a fitting setting, a launch event featuring project presentations, keynote speeches, and panel discussions will take place on May 11, 2026, at the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation in Munich.
Program Highlights:
- Keynotes by Prof. Dr. Franz Essl (University of Vienna) and Sarah Fleischer (CEO of tozero)
- Presentations of the selected research projects
- Science Panel: “Climate Protection and the Bavarian Economy – Contradiction or Opportunity?”
The event expects high-level participants from the fields of science, politics, and the media—including the project leaders themselves, all of whom are luminaries in their respective fields.
