In the course of the BORDERLANDS project, four part-time research assistants were employed, including three PhD students who completed their PhD while working with the project and one young post-doc. Moreover, three advanced PhD students, five post-docs and two research fellows worked with the project on a full-time or high part-time basis in the course of the project. Most of the full-time research assistants and associates worked for more than two years with the BORDERLANDS project, creating important synergies and lasting networks.
