Communication structure

The partners of the MND-NET meet twice a year in person to make the essential decisions of the network and to inform each other about the progress of the research projects and the network activities.

Monthly videoconferences allow a close exchange between the partners.
The exchange is documented in minutes.

Publications: Since 2012, well over 100 publications have appeared.
You can view some of these publications here.
