The dialogue between science and society has never been more critical. Finding sustainable solutions and answers to societal challenges can only be achieved through close exchange with as many stakeholders and interest groups as possible. Advisory Boards and Ethics Advisors are important bodies safeguarding these science-society relations and thus the quality of a project.
With the start of the year, the CO:RE project has picked up speed, and our WP teams are hard at work. Every other week, we get together via video conference and exchange on the current status and upcoming actions. The first year of CO:RE is entirely dedicated to conceptualising the CO:RE Knowledge Platform. In the second year, we’re focusing on the (technical) implementation of the knowledge base and making it available to you. And lastly, in the third year, all…
On 16 January 2020, the CO:RE project members met at the European Leibniz Office in Brussels for the first time. Over the next three years, the project partners will work on building a knowledge base on the online experiences of children and young people.

Together with people and organisations working in education, research and policymaking, CO:RE…
Children and young people go online virtually every day. International data on children and online media is extensive, heterogeneous and partly contradictory.
Our aim is to create a comprehensive pan-European knowledge platform with the participation of international researchers, educators, policy makers and concerned dialogue groups. Providing an overview of the research situation, enabling access to empirical data, distributing policy recommendations and offering resources for education lie at the heart of our work.
The work of the CO:RE consortium is structured in eleven distinct work packages (WPs) over the project duration of three years (2020-2022).
Thereby, the objectives, tasks and deliverables within the WPs are closely interlinked to achieve the CO:RE project goals. WPs 1 and 10 support and coordinate the overall project framework.
Within the next three years the CO:RE poject will establish a multifunctional knowledge platform. Discover more about our functions & services we are planning.
