Newly founded: Buber-Rosenzweig Institute as a prominent research centre on modern Judaism
The new Buber-Rosenzweig Institute is intended to provide the necessary framework for increasing visibility and focusing research energies. This requires neither state funds nor funds from the department or university: Thanks to the successful acquisition of third-party funding, especially in recent times, the foundation is on a solid financial footing. “The Executive Board has unanimously approved the founding of the Institute. We are delighted about Christian Wiese’s initiative. The new institute has great potential to further expand cooperation with other institutions, especially internationally, and to initiate other important projects in the future,” says Prof. Enrico Schleiff, President of Goethe University.

FRANKFURT. More than two thirds of the earth is covered by clouds. Depending on whether they float high or low, how large their water and ice content is, how thick they are or over which region of the Earth they form, it gets warmer or cooler underneath them. Due to human influence, there are most likely more cooling effects from clouds today than in pre-industrial times, but how clouds contribute to climate change is not yet well understood. Researchers currently believe that low clouds over the Arctic and Antarctic, for example, contribute to the warming of these regions by blocking the direct radiation of long-wave heat from the Earth s surface.
