• Department of Aquatic Ecosystem Analysis (ASAM) at the UFZ
• Department of Economics at the UFZ
• Department of Computational Landscape Ecology at the UFZ
• Centre for Environmental Biotechnology (UBZ) at the UFZ
• Center for Environmental Systems Research (CESR)
• Seeconsult GmbH

• p2m Berlin GmbH
• Bergmann Clean Abwassertechnik GmbH (BCAT)
• Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei Berlin (IGB)

Since not all organisations participated in phase 1 of the project there was a dense program of talks to inform everybody about past activities and about the work that lies ahead. Apart from this there was an intense and detailed discussion about the future collaboration which will culminate next in a kick-off meeting in Mongolia due to take place in the week from September 19 to 26 in cooperation with our Mongolian partners.
