For the funding priority klimazwei, the Cologne Institute for Economic Research has arranged an advisory board. It consists of representatives of private companies, economic associations, administration and research institutions. The main task of the advisory board is to advise the supportive process and to act as a link between business and research. This includes discussing results of the research projects, indicating research needs and contributing to the improvement of the cooperation between business and specific research projects. In addition, the advisory board should support the transfer of the results and make suggestions for further research.
