Cooperative
Research Project
The cooperation applicants, partners and coordinator are involved in the supervision of the individual projects which the researchers are conducting for further qualification, alongside with formally appointed supervisors provided by the respective university departments. The cooperation is based on the principle of equality with regard to decision-making and opportunities for engagement between the project applicants, cooperation partners and the coordinator. The project has always been open for new partners who qualify by supervisory activities and are being coopted into the project through the vote of the original cooperation partners. All the African project partners are involved in research, consultancy and / or political tasks or take part as experts in official commissions with high relevance to the project topics. l
