Deliverables

Documents, reports (5)

Edited special issue in high impact journal

Edited special issue after an organized symposium at a large conference towards the end of Twinning, based on the work performed (for example Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B after a symposium at CogSci Conference)

Reports/Proceedings and lecture materials of the workshops

Deliverable based on Coordination & supervision of 4 International Workshops on Interdisciplinary Methods in research on abstract concepts and words. To share expertise and integrate research methods, four workshops will be organised, each devoted to the methods present at a respective partner. Each workshop will last min. 3 days and will involve lectures of the TRAINCREASE staff, local (at the Workshop host) and invited specialists. Each workshop will have half day devoted to research management & dissemination skills (Lab Organization, Data Management, Sci Communication, Sci Writing). Workshops will be open to other ESRs and staff, depending on the technical requirements/possibilities at the host. Reports and proceedings will be made public on the project webpage.

Scenarios for outreach actions

Scenarios and materials for outreach parents teachers high school meetings CopernicusSF Museum

Summer school proceedings and lecture materials

Tutorials/presentations from the PIs and the participations of students from the 4 beneficiary sites will be made available in the form of Proceedings from this international school.
