Floodplain Institute Neuburg-Ingolstadt
Research Focus and Tasks
The Floodplain Institute (Aueninstitut) Neuburg-Ingolstadt is a research centre of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (affiliated to the Professorship for Applied Physical Geography), located in the Floodplain Centre Neuburg, Schloss (castle) Grünau. It is funded by the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, which founded it in 2006, and since 2023 also by the cities of Ingolstadt and Neuburg.
Research focuses on floodplain and river ecology and the associated tasks of restoration. In order to improve the ecosystem, which has been damaged for centuries, we are always looking for solutions for sustainable floodplain management. In this context, conflicts with land use such as water management or forestry must be taken into account. Research for sustainability is the long-term goal, where both socio-economic and ecologic aspects are considered equally and in the same place, to be implemented in Nature-based solutions.

Each associated region can apply for a grant up to € 100,000 to create new opportunities and collaborations that will shape the future. The Call for Associated Regions is specifically designed to engage and collaborate with Local and Regional Authorities. The project will run for 48 months and is led by the University of Bucharest. The consortium consists of a total of 31 organizations including 5 local and national authorities, 21 academic and research institutions, 3 NGOs and 2 SMEs. The Call for Associated Regions will be open until 29th May 2024. Further information about the application process and the reuqirements can be found at the project website.
