Description
Auto-translated from GermanThe third project phase of the German-Chinese Agricultural Centre (DCZ) was initially extended for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2026, and subsequently until June 30, 2026. It was originally planned to initiate the fourth project phase promptly. However, during the coordination process, delays occurred on both the German and Chinese sides in the necessary feedback and decision-making processes. As a result, essential prerequisites for the preparation of the new project phase, including the finalization of relevant agreements and the initiation of the tender process, could not be met within the originally planned timeframe. Against this background, the German side, in coordination with the Chinese side, has decided to extend the current project phase extraordinarily again until December 31, 2026. The extension is intended to provide sufficient time for further coordination processes with the Chinese partner institutions as well as for the proper preparation and execution of the tender process for the fourth project phase. At the same time, it is intended to ensure that the established dialogue and cooperation formats of the project can be continued without interruption and that the networks and work results built up so far can be sustainably secured. The extension contributes to completing the ongoing coordination processes between the involved German and Chinese institutions and creating the prerequisites for the fourth project phase. At the same time, it enables the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMLEH) and GFA Consulting Group to carry out the necessary preparations for the next project phase, including the tender and award procedure, with the necessary care. In the period 01.08.-31.12.2026, the DCZ will also implement the measure "German-Chinese Innovation Network for Efficient and Sustainable Feed Production in Dairy Farming" within the framework of the funding call "International Networks for Agriculture and Food Industry (INA)". This includes, in particular, the organization of a two-day field day with an accompanying technical program in autumn 2026.
