All researchers and actors solving environmental challenges can apply for a long-term workspace, regardless of their funder if the space is needed for daily use. A pop-up-working space is best for those who needs a work space occasionally. In the event that there are many applicants, researchers funded by the Nessling Foundation will be given priority. We reserve the right to select who will work in the space.
