Under Work Package 3, Field Introduction, all administrative, financial, network, methodological and practical preparations for the fieldwork in the four countries and four regions are made. The work package is coordinated by Koç University and runs from June through August 2010, For each country (Morocco, Senegal, Turkey and Ukraine) the respective Geographical Duo Teams (GDT) complete the necessary administrative procedures for fieldwork, such as formal research permission etc. The GDT’s also have a first introduction into the four selected regions per country so as to become familiar with the research contexts and develop networks with relevant institutions and key figures. On the basis of these first visits, each GDT authors a brief report on the four selected regions, with concrete recommendations for fieldwork guidelines.
As the WP3 coordinator, Koç University ensures the timely delivery and parallel content of the 4 reports with country-specific fieldwork recommendations.
