What is my role within CATALPA?
As a science researcher, I advise the OrA project, esp. on research design and data analysis issues.
Why CATALPA?
CATALPA shows that interdisciplinary and innovative research across multiple sites can succeed - in a collaborative and solution-oriented environment with a strong center in Hagen.
