Teams

are informal organizational units within a Research Branch or across Branches. The main task of a Team is to manage the implementation of two or more thematically related research or technical projects towards a common goal. The creation of Teams is based on needs and added value.

The rationale and purpose of Research Teams:

• Clustering related research or technical projects and gaining synergies while minimizing duplication
• Facilitating the development and achievement of larger goals
• Enhancing the public health impact of projects
• Enhancing flexibility and agility to use resources according to needs in a timely manner
• Reducing the administrative burden
• Creating leadership opportunities for early-career or mid-career personnel
• Ensuring a stimulating and interactive research and work environment, including bringing together motivated and complementary individuals
