The coordination unit has to fulfil two major duties.  Firstly, it coordinates the research consortium. This includes reporting, collection and dissemination of the research results.

Secondly, the coordination unit implements different tasks in the Integraton and Synthesis part of the project. Thus it collects the data from the subprojects and evaluates the data collected by means of the research questions. Moreover, the colloquia are organised and facilitated by the coordination unit.

The coordination unit is based at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences (KHSB).
