In four research teams with sixteen research fellows, including sociologists, historians, biologists, graphic designers, tour guides, geologists, cultural anthropologists and communication specialists, will work with the participating municipalities (Bakonynána, Borzavár, Jásd and Nagyesztergár) and their local communities to strengthen the settlements and the region’s tourism through co-creation.
