Stephan Barthel
Professor, docent in Geospatial Information Science
About the researcher
Professor Stephan Barthel leads challenge driven research programs on green cities and on the role that civil society play in a fair climate transformation. He actively integrate scholars with different knowledge systems in co-creation to strengthen the resilience of socio-ecological functions in the outdoor environment in urban landscapes during a transformation towards a fossil-free future. Furthermore he has the mission to translate academic research into trans-disciplinary collaborations and co-creation projects with actors outside academia.
