The first consortium, established in 2011, was funded by an EU grant and originally consisted of 5 partner universities: the Universities of Potsdam (DE), Groningen (NL), Newcastle (GB), Trento (IT), and Macquarie (AU).
The current consortium consists of 3 partner universities, 2 in Europe (Universities of Potsdam, DE, Groningen, NL) and one non-European university (Macquarie, AU). These partners have been selected on the basis of their quality and long-standing previous record of cooperation.
