This project will coordinate and support the management of all research and administrative activities within the TRR 420. This includes the organization of the annual project meetings, training workshops, a planned international symposium, public outreach and webpage of CONCENTRATE. The central C1 project ensures the support of early career researchers as well as the organization of gender equality issues. Beside the central management, C1 also provides a technical platform for the TRR 420. It organizes “synergy activities” which are joint research activities which integrate most of the CONCENTRATE partners.
