FUNDING
European Research Council (ERC)
FINEPRINT is an ERC Consolidator Grant Project (grant agreement No. 725525) in EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.
The project duration is from July 2017 to June 2022.
Our Team
The interdisciplinary team of FINEPRINT consists of researchers covering a wide range of academic disciplines such as social ecology, geoscience, ecological economics, computer science, sociology, environmental engineering and international development.
Stefan is the coordinator of FINEPRINT. He has a background in social ecology and ecological economics. Stefan leads Work Stream 3 on fine-scale footprint assessments and coordinates the publication and dissemination activities.
As the leader of Work Stream 2, Martin heads up the development of the spatially-explicit multi-regional material flow model that links material extraction and related impacts with consumption. Martin has an academic background in computer sciences and social ecology.
Victor leads Work Stream 1, focusing on worldwide spatial assessment of raw material extraction and related environmental and social impacts. His background is in geoinformatics and environmental sciences.
As part of the Work Stream 2 team, Hanspeter develops global physical input-output and trade models with a particular focus on international trade flows of metal ores and related products. His academic background is in sociology and social ecology.
Mirko has his background in environmental management and international development. He establishes the global, spatially explicit material extraction accounts and supports the geospatial and statistical assessments in Work Stream 1.
Stephan supports the Work Stream 1 team and focuses on the assessment of water requirements of raw material extraction, particularly in mining activities. His background is in environmental engineering and natural resource management.
Sebastian has a background in economics and international development. In the project, he assesses the environmental and socio-economic impacts of mining activities.
Nikolas has a background in economics. In FINEPRINT, he develops spatial econometric models to investigate the drivers of impacts related to resource extraction.
Jakob creates the interactive online visualisation tools to illustrate and communicate the FINEPRINT results. His background is in economics and political science.
Zully develops the physical input-output and trade models of forestry and nonfood biomass products. She has a background in social ecology, social cultural anthropology and biology.
Simon compiles and analyses mine-specific production and processing data of metal ores, industrial minerals and coal. His background is in economics.
Rene’s background is in statistics and data science. In FINEPRINT, he co-develops the multi-regional input-output models for metal ores and related products.
