Competence to Go

The CCCA...

…is the first point of contact and central hub for users.

…offers a "long-term memory" for research results and data after projects end & makes it easier to find experts & results for practical use.

connects users with experts, data and scientifically sound information "to take away" with the aim of promoting science-based policy making.

…supports the preparation and communication of research results (but doesn't conduct research itself).
