The above topic-researcher allocations are meant as a preliminary field of specialization. However, all topics are linked to
each other and, therefore, are considered as closed areas but as starting points for looking at rural development.
Moreover, it is expected that the topic-researcher allocation will enforce complementarities for undertaking
joint research efforts.
