"As a historian I am not used to thinking in terms of synergic work groups. Just being part of an ERC-Synergy application provided me a unique opportunity to enhance important and relevant skills such as the ability to co-develop and write a complex research design, which is based on a variety of expertise and research processes of over 30 researchers in different stages of their careers.
We worked together on the project's research design and development for almost 10 months and I already see the effects of this process on the depth and breadth of my individual research project; in the generation of a joint investigation protocol that will serve us in the future; and in some of the research outputs which the network that we created is already generating."
