As part of the Geographical Colloquium, the Geoecology working group welcomed Mr. Martin Eckhard from the regional development agencies Region Heide and Lebens- und Wirtschaftsraum Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein to give a lecture on Thursday, 05.06.2025. Mr. Eckhard reported in detail on his previous and planned future work on the handling of various funding programs for municipalities and regional economic development. The focus was on the various aspects associated with the development, establishment, implementation and value creation of renewable energies and the extent to which these regional transformation processes can be supported. We would like to thank Mr. Eckhard for his willingness and the insights he provided and look forward to working with him in the future.
