-The Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research (IGF) at its headquarters in Innsbruck focuses on inter- and transdisciplinary mountain research (montology) in cooperation with international groups of scientists. It also includes GLORIA, the long-term global monitoring network in alpine areas. It maintains a cooperation with the [[Mountain Research Initiative (MRI)]], Bern and is Member of the Mountain Partnership (FAO), Rome.         {{ :wiki:igf_gruppenfoto-6.jpg?200|}}. For Austria IGF is administrating the Swiss-Austrian mountain research alliance CH-AT alliance [[http://www.chat-mountainalliance.eu/en/]]+The **Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research** (IGF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, at its headquarters in Innsbruckfocuses on inter- and transdisciplinary mountain research.
