During the planning for this application, a wider circle of academics and researchers of all participating universities’ faculties / schools of education and also experts from other universities (e.g. the University of Hamburg) showed commitment to join the programme as supervisors, researchers, resource persons and curriculum planners.

The steering group engages with this core group of academics as CERM-ESA Faculty to support the programme with regard to the development of study modules, workshops for staff development, Summer Schools and research conferences.
