During the two-day visit Tartu Observatory welcomed our project partners from Uppsala University and Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The purpose of the RET (Research Evaluation Team) visit was to monitor the research activities and have interviews with all University of Tartu participants to determine the research culture and specific practices, hopes and expectations and identify (non-)perceived barriers and practices or skills to target for improvement. Examples of topics the RET will aim to understand are: what is the knowledge context and process of arriving at research questions to focus on; what is the approach to writing and publishing research papers; what are the practises and obstacles of continued learning (following the literature, learning new methods/tools/context).
