Horizontal Issues

Work Packages 1 to 6 operate under a number of guiding principles which should be taken into account in the process of research: a number of common and horizontal themes and issues are defined which will be pursued across the board in order to enhance overall coherence, the latter being a prime goal of the NCCR. All WPs are directly or indirectly affected by these topics. They are required to deal regularly with these horizontal issues in research and in their workshops, and to take into account results produced in the field. Vice-versa, the results of WPs will allow to bring about a more complete assessment of these horizontal issues at the end of Phase II.
The horizontal themes are coordinated by Dr Susan Brown and Prof. T. Cottier.
