Activities

Expertise mapping

The mapping exercise will be used:

to provide the research community with targeted information on upcoming calls
as a matchmaking tool to find colleagues for collaboration and facilitate the development of European consortia
to ensure a broad representation of interests in case opportunities arise for influencing calls and work programmes
to identify candidates for advisory groups, bodies and committees, where the interests of research groups or the university needs to be represented and promoted
to identify speakers at interdisciplinary seminars and conferences
to flag up AUs research strengths and growth potential within the thematically defined societal challenges both internally at AU and externally
