The Rachel Carson Center is a part of a new multi-year, international, and interdisciplinary project that focuses on understanding ecological interdependence and the rights of nature. Together with academic institutions (universities and research centers) and non-academic institutions (for-profit companies and NGOs) in the EU and Latin America, the RCC will contribute to generating knowledge and creating new socio-legal instruments as a basis for the transformation of human attitude towards the environment. Scholars and environmental experts from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Italy, and Spain will work together through staff exchanges and joint research projects.

  • The RCC is represented by its director, environmental historian Christof Mauch, as well as by the environmental anthropologist Eveline Dürr and legal scholar Jens Kersten. Lawyer and sociologist María Valeria Berros (National University of the Littoral, Santa Fe, Argentina), a member of the RCC's Society of Fellows, is a PI in this multi-year project.
