In the large-scale systematic paleontological project, interdisciplinary research on the paleontology of the Nile Basin in Sudan is conducted together with Al Neelain University in Khartoum. This knowledge about the recent past can help solving research questions of the present and future.

The project creates a digital Edition of the Annual Reports of the Museum 1887-1915 and 1928-1938. This can be used, for example, for the assessment of colonial objects in the collections.

In the project we examine plant inclusions in amber, to identify them and to draw conclusions about their ecosystems. These objects help us to understand distribution patterns and morphological evolution of plant families
