As partner of the project consortium EOSCsecretariat, TU Wien is responsible for researcher engagement. This task comprises an exploration series, including the organization of workshops, consultations and interviews with members from university networks, funding bodies and various research communities. In order to address the latter in a structured way, TU Wien interviewed high-level researchers such as members from the Marie Curie Alumni Association, ERC grantees and Nobel Laureates. The series with researchers was launched in December 2019 and ends one year later and with 17 published interviews.
