The ASCENS consortium is both scientifically and pragmatically driven.

The objective is to promote results in academia, e.g. through a set of associated researchers, publication of articles and presentations at conferences and workshops.

In addition, informative and pragmatic descriptions of the projects aims and results as well as explanations on project related topics are provided for practitioners in general, in form of white papers, press releases or blog entries.
