5th BMBF Forum For Sustainability

International Observers Group (IOG)

Aiming at a stronger international participation, BMBF invited several experts from the major G8 and O5 countries to participate as “International Observers” in the Forum.

As a main driver of “Research for Sustainability” BMBF is interested to know and reflect about African, Latin American and Asian opinions and suggestions as the Forum unfolds. The international guests provide expertise in issues of sustainability research partly with scientific and /or administrative background. Their task is a critical reflection with a global point of view on the European discussion on Eco-Innovation and to share their experiences with the national and European FONA participants.

The main messages of this reflection will be made public in the closing session at the end of the FONA-Forum (programmatic outlook).
