TetraNET fosters seamless knowledge transfer, which is anchored in secondments (hands-on lab work across synthesis, characterization, modelling, device), a shared protocol registry with DOIs (methods, datasets, code), and code/data sprints (M18, M30) that end with tagged releases and a replication report.
Secondments enable hands-on training in cutting-edge synthesis, characterization, modelling, and device fabrication techniques. Researchers gain interdisciplinary skills by working in host institutions’ laboratories, bridging theoretical and experimental approaches. Cross-disciplinary placements ensure expertise exchange—for example, computational scientists collaborate with material scientists to refine ZnO tetrapod (TN) processing.
Regular project meetings and brainstorming sessions ensure rapid troubleshooting of technical challenges, optimizing ZnO TN functionalization and device performance. Computational and experimental teams work iteratively, ensuring real-time adjustments to methods. A shared digital repository will document protocols, computational models, and experimental findings to support long-term collaboration.
A comprehensive communication strategy and plan will be developed at the outset of TetraNET under WP5: Management and Dissemination, detailing the project’s target groups, communication objectives, key messages (including visibility of EU funding), communication tools, dissemination channels, and measurable indicators of success. This strategy will be proactive, inclusive, and strategic, employing a variety of tools to engage stakeholders, share knowledge, and amplify the project’s impact across multiple audiences.
