Aim

The task forces exploit synergies of all partners on a project-oriented basis and establish additional structures at HI-TRON based on three principals.

I.   Provide scientific, methodological, technical, or administrative guidance to HI-TRON personnel.

II.   Shaping and improving HI-TRON's scientific landscape.

III.   Ensure efficiency by leveraging synergies, providing an overview of structures within partner organizations, and providing access/contact information to these organizations.
