What are the best methods for funding a CRC and is it the aim of achieve financial sustainability? How, when and with which aim are evaluations carried out? What is the role of monitoring? How can IPR issues be addressed, and: how important is international cooperation? Finally, communication aspects increasingly gain importance, both in informing the stakeholders and the general public.

In this toolbox we do not want to provide ready-to-use recipes but instruments that can be used and combined as needed. We offer numerous links and good practice examples that may be used as orientation.

Moreover, this toolbox has been designed as a “learning toolbox”. You can share your experience with us by giving us your feed back and comments. Further links and good practice examples are highly welcome.
