The inter- and trans-disciplinary nature of COMTESS requires sophisticated scientific coordination. This includes the conceptual design and scientific coordination of research, operational management as well as the quality control of results, internal communication, assessment of progress and the organisation of dissemination and implementation. The scientific part of WP 0 will consist of bringing together the results of the different workpackages according to a defined workflow. Furthermore, the coordination aims at implementing the results of COMTESS into practice and at disseminating overarching scientific results in international peer reviewed journals.
