Sub-project 21

Project institute: Leibniz-Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) e. V. Müncheberg, Department of Land Use System and Landscape Ecology

Title: Professional management of the overall project and scientific structuring of its content

Short title: Overall coordination of the project’s content

Goals of the subproject: The professional, overall coordination of the inter- and transdisciplinary  joint project preagro II is the main task of the subproject. This includes securing the cooperation concerning project contents between the various subprojects as well as the scientific formulation and the supervision of integrative solutions for Precision Farming in practice with respect to sustainability concepts.

Position of the subproject within the joint project: Cross-sectional project. The two project coordinators oversee two project areas each.


The scientific project manager and the project coordination organise the overall tasks of the joint project together with the project steering committee. The steering committee and the scientific project manager work out strategic and conceptual aims for the project development. The project coordination bears responsibility for scheduling, implementation and supervision of the necessary measures for the realisation of these aims. The main emphasis of the overall project coordination is therefore focussing on the continuous professional development of the overall project. For this purpose, the project coordination keeps track of the joint project and regulates the project if required. Initialising consultations among subprojects concerning both formal aspects and those of content, surveying the necessary information flow and having open discussions with the project partners in order to audit the work status serve as pre-requisites to accomplish the project aims.
