organisation profile
The Center for Geomicrobiology is a co-operation between the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF), the German Max Planck Society ( MPS), and the University of Aarhus. The MPS and the DNRF will share the financing of the center budget. The University of Aarhus (AU) will fund initial equipment needed for the center and will provide laboratory and office space. The head of the center will be Prof. Bo Barker Jørgensen. He is currently a director of the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen and Head of its Department for Biogeochemistry. He will remain a director of the institute in Bremen while leading the Center. The Center will start on October 1st, 2007, and is planned for five years.
It is a new initiative within the MPS to co-fund such a European center outside of Germany and it shows the high priority that the society gives this center plan and the future co-operation with Danish basic research. The proposed center is based on the establishment and hiring of a new research group, rather than growing out of an existing group. BBJ will bring the experience and support of the Max Planck Institute in Bremen, including collaborations with scientists of the MPI. The center will be integrated into the Section for Microbiology at the Department of Biological Sciences and members of this internationally outstanding group will be partners in the Center. The Center also plans co-operation with the Department of Geology at the University of Aarhus and has as a goal to establish a new interdisciplinary research field between biology and geology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
