International Advisory Board

The international advisory board supports UGot ReWork by helping to ensure the scientific quality and long-term development of the center’s activities. Its role is both to provide expert advice to the researchers (for example on study design, theories, and methodological choices) and to support the steering committee on broader strategic research questions and the development of international collaboration.
