Projects

On this page all projects that are currently being carried out by our partners are listed. You will find a description of the projects as well as an overview of the products that are being used. We also list the questions that each project aims to answer and the methods we plan to use. Once a year the partners who participate in the projects report to the Research Coordinator, who will collect all the data and lay them out on this site.
