In October 2015, the DFG International Research Training Group “Surface processes, Tectonics and Georecources in the Andean Foreland Basin of Argentina” (StRATEGY) will be established at the University of Potsdam in cooperation with the GFZ German Research Centre for Geoscience. The consortium will partner with a similar Argentine graduate program at the universities of Buenos Aires, Salta, Jujuy, and Tucumán, funded by the Argentine science foundation CONICET.
