Which current spatial issues should be addressed in an interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary manner? Which topics deserve in-depth scientific examination – with a clear reference to practice and social impact? The ARL is calling for proposals for new working groups and transfer formats within the framework of its ongoing missions and current research concept. The deadline is 25 March 2026.

From 29 August to 7 September 2025, the ARL is once again launching an open call for innovative working and transfer formats within its newly structured online application procedure.

Missions are a new instrument of the ARL, with which the work and transfer formats are aligned to topics and fields of action with high currency and relevance. Along the missions, original scientific and practice-relevant contributions are to be made aiming to solve societal challenges by promoting inter- and/or transdisciplinary cooperation within the ARL.
