The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has decided to fund a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC 1182 /SFB 1182 ) on “Origin and Function of Metaorganisms”. Principal investigator and coordinator Thomas Bosch and his colleagues in North Germany will use the 10 million Euro to explore the multi-organismic interactions in plants, animals and humans.

Kiel Life Science
The newly founded interdisciplinary centre for applied life sciences – Kiel Life Science (KLS) – links up research from the fields of agricultural and nutritional sciences, the natural sciences and medicine at Kiel University. With Thomas Bosch as coordinator and Stefan Schreiber as co-coordinator, KLS forms one of four research foci at Kiel University. KLS wants to achieve a better understanding of the cellular and molecular processes with which organisms respond to environmental influences. This covers a broad spectrum from how agricultural crop plants adapt to specific growth conditions, or how, in the interaction of genes, individual lifestyle and environmental factors, illnesses can arise. Within this framework, health is always viewed holistically in the evolutionary context.
Première of the sound installation “Tanzendes Meer”
Thomas Bosch and Kiel’s General Music Director (GMD) Georg Fritzsch invite Composer Shih to make the Zoological Museum in Kiel swing. The Première of the sound installation “Tanzendes Meer” (dancing ocean) was a plea for the freedom of art and science.
