The benefit of participating in the CER network as a partner or co-funder is linked to near-industry research and the receipt of research results drafted in a popular science format when the centre disseminates information to the surrounding community. All results are available to all partners and co-financiers. Those who wish can also request exclusive results presentations and participate in various activities (seminars, webinars, etc.), which are arranged within the framework of the CER network.
