19 DiP projects in the first funding phase

From April 2024, 19 joint projects of the DiP consortium began their research work.
The joint projects can be thematically classified into three so-called “lighthouses”:

“Value Chains of Agricultural Crops”

(cereals and straw, sugar beet, peas),

“Sustainable and climate-resilient cultivation systems for the production of bio-based raw materials” 

(agroforestry, hemp and superfood) and

“Value Chains Special Crops” 

(Recyclable materials from plant residues, special crops, medicinal and spice plants, potential analyses).

Participation of 50 partner institutions

The DiP consortium also includes three junior research groups (NWG) and an “accompanying research” project. More than 50 partner institutions from science and industry are involved in the 19 DiP joint projects – in addition to Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), regional universities, non-university research institutions, regional companies and, in some cases, national partners.

Lighthouses

Here, agricultural crops, sustainable & climate-resilient cultivation systems for the production of bio-based raw materials and special crops are investigated

Accompanying research

An integral, project-accompanying measure to investigate the sustainability and socio-economics of the DiP model region as well as the individual consortia and to evaluate the transfer, standardization and sustainability of the funded projects.

Junior Research Groups

The DiP consortium also includes three junior research groups (NWGs), each of which is located in one of the three lighthouses.
