At the consortium level, there will be a steering committee consisting of principal investigators, research partners from the two cross-cutting subprojects, and selected partners from practice and policy.
It will support subprojects, foster bilateral cooperation, and provide the synthesis necessary to develop a common conceptual, methodological and theoretical inventory for generalizable research and implementation approaches.
It will also promote institutional networks to complement cooperation in the subprojects, improve transdisciplinary collaboration between theoretical and empirical researchers in the consortium, and define a joint research agenda

Young Researcher
