The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) has granted funding for a new Center for Advanced Study at Universität Hamburg entitled The Futures of Sustainability: Modernization, Transformation, Control. Researchers want to understand how modern societies change when they follow different sustainability goals.

The Center will initially receive funding to the tune of €3.4 million over 4 years. It will also enjoy a program allowance of 22% of the overall grant sum. The Center is scheduled to begin its work in 2019. It is the third Center for Advanced Studies at Universität Hamburg.
