The workshop hours were actively used for identifying the HERD project partners’ R&D experience and reflection on their disciplinary research potentials, transdisciplinary research, organizational considerations regarding the research-based training, research-oriented industry, capacity building activities for empower and support young researchers, internationalization, to improve research staff management via training; overall policy and processes - technology transfer, incentive mechanisms, HR policies, etc. The last topic of the workshop was related to the Partnerships: contacts with European laboratories, MoU with other Higher Education Institutions, etc.
