Portfolio
This section presents the key activities that Supras is managing or involved in, presented according to the six service areas that Supras engages in and offers its services in.
The work in the core service areas, specifically “Networking,” “Projects” and “Research,” typically takes place in a dialectic between each of these activities, on the one hand, and presentations of papers at conferences and workshops, on the other hand.
Closed activities are moved to section Archive. Links to many of the implementing agencies, partners and projects that are involved in these activities are available in section Links. Documents – in the form of references and files for downloading – prepared in connection with these activities, as well as images, are available in section Library. Secondary knowledge – in the form of references, documents for downloading, websites, etc. – are available in section Knowledge.
