5 Work Packages For All Partners
The continuous integration of education, research and innovation is one key aim of the NeurotechEU measures. These project measures are being coordinated in five work packages designed to build a transnational, transdisciplinary educational offering. All institutions are represented in all work packages.
Work packages, topic areas
The structure and organizational unit are designed to safeguard the long-term process for establishing a European University. The project is divided into five work packages: (1) Management and Coordination, (2) Interdisciplinary Knowledge Creation , (3) Empowering Learners and Staff , (4) Common Policies and Strategy Development and (5) Impact and Dissemination.
The University of Bonn is coordinating the work package number 2, Interdisciplinary Knowledge Creation.
