The individual players (selection)
Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources
The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) is based in Hanover. It is the central geoscientific authority providing advice to the German government on all geo-relevant issues and is subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. It advises, instructs and supports the federal ministries and their subordinate authorities, the institutions of the EU and the private sector on issues relating to the extractive industries, applied geosciences, and environmental and resource protection. Other key tasks of the BGR are representing Germany on international geosciences committees, and task-related research and development work in the field of applied geosciences.
The BGR has been involved in development cooperation since 1958 and is the BMZ's implementing organisation for Technical Cooperation in the geosector. It implements bilateral and sectoral Technical Cooperation projects with developing countries and emerging economies on behalf of the BMZ, including on issues relating to mining and environmental geology, georesources management (water, soil, mineral resources and energy resources), and on dealing with geothreats and georisks.
In 2008 experts from the BGR were involved in 59 projects in more than 30 partner countries; Germany contributed nine million euros in funding.
