Dennis Krämer

I am the head of the Geochemistry Workgroup at the Federal Institute of Geosciences and Natural Resources in Hannover, Germany. We are working in the fields of analytical geochemistry, environmental and resource geochemistry with a focus on critical high technology metals, like the rare earth elements and other emerging (micro-)pollutants, in various environmental and geological samples. I am also a designated member of the Geochemical Expert Group of EuroGeoSurveys, which is a Pan-European association of the European geological surveys. I also teach at the international Constructor University Bremen, Germany.

During several joint research projects, I had the privilege to conduct fieldwork and collaborate with researchers from Arab countries and my decision to apply for AGYA was therefore evident.

When I initially learned about AGYA, I was impressed by the innovative concept of an academy that brings together researchers from a wide variety of scientific disciplines and countries to jointly address scientific questions and develop sustainable solutions for global concerns.
