Role in the project

TUB is leading work package 2 (Taxonomy of DHT for assessment purposes, methods review and gap analysis) and will study the current landscape of assessment methods and frameworks, critically assessing their strengths and weaknesses and identifying existing gaps, and develop a comprehensive and evidence based DHT taxonomy that will enable innovative products to navigate a suitable path through the assessment framework to be developed in the project. In addition, TUB is participating in work packages (WP) 1, 4, 5, and 6.
