General Objectives :
The overall objective of WP3 is to complete and clearly describe the analytical framework of the study across work packages and thereby give guidance to the joint research for the remainder of the project. This implies making final choices regarding the approaches taken in WP5, WP6 and WP7, and based on this, draw the consequences for the data collection in WP4. The work will be completed after the first 4 months of the project and comprise instruments for qualitative and quantitative analysis, the scope of NTMs considered, country selection and product coverage.
Specific objectives:
- To complete a joint literature review regarding public and private NTM's, analytical methods, countries, classifications, instruments, data bases, and thereby summarize the essence of scientific knowledge at the start of the project.
- To provide a description of the overall analytical framework across WP4,5,6,7, based on and adding to the state of current scientific knowledge as described in the literature review, clearly specifying desired integration and possible synergies between WP's.
Based on the agreed upon analytical framework, final selection of analytical methods, pertinent countries, supply chains and type of NTM's (in WP4,5,6,7).
Work Package Leader: Thomas Heckelei and Simon Schlueter
