Visits and secondments of ESRs

Specialized, task-centred learning during secondments: All Network partners have defined 15 individual projects facilitating task-centered learning, which has been shown to be most effective. Each project and its scientific training activities are outlined below. For each ESR the secondment organization was chosen on the basis of scientific relevance, cohesion of distinct experimental approaches and complementarities in addressing the ESR’s individual project aims. Note the interdisciplinarity of most projects and the tight interactions between several groups that ensure the high level training of each ESR. The high prevalence of ESRs to the network is indicative of the high training priorities of this Network and the willingness of all PIs from both the academic and non-academic sector to directly mentoring the proposed tasks. Details of secondments are listed in Table 4.1d for each individual research project.
