About THINKTANK Industrielle Ressourcenstrategien

The THINKTANK Industrial Resource Strategies (THINKTANKirs) was founded in January 2018 as a joint initiative of politics and industry with the support of science and began its work in the second half of 2018. On a scientific basis, it advises on the central technological-­strategic questions on resource efficiency, resource use and resource policy. As an independent thinker and driving force for a climate-neutral, resource-restricted industrial society, it stands for an open, objective, neutral analysis and evaluation and thus supports fact-based decisions. It is jointly supported by industry partners and politics, namely the state government of Baden-Württemberg. Further information at https://www.th­inktank-irs.de­/.

Der THINKTANK Industrielle Ressourcenstrategien (THINKTANKirs) wurde im Januar 2018 als gemeinsame Initiative von Politik und Industrie mit Unterstützung der Wissenschaft gegründet und nahm in der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2018 seine Arbeit auf. Er berät auf wissenschaftlicher Basis in den zentralen technologisch-­strategischen Fragestellungen zu Ressourceneffizienz, Ressourcennutzung und Ressourcenpolitik. Als unabhängiger Vordenker und Impulsgeber für eine klimaneutrale, ressourcenarme Industriegesellschaft steht er für eine offene, objektive, neutrale Analyse und Bewertung und unterstützt so faktenbasierte Entscheidungen. Getragen wird er gemeinsam von Industriepartnern und Politik, namentlich der Landesregierung Baden-Württemberg. Weitere Informationen unter https://www.th­inktank-irs.de­/.
