ChETEC inter-disciplinary projects
Many of the key open questions listed in this folder require a multi-disciplinary (some inter-sectoral) expertise to answer them.
Here are the main inter-disciplinary projects set-up as part of ChETEC ordered by the WGs leading these projects The task leader(s) is named so that they can be contacted if someone is interested in joining these projects or want to know more about them.
