For me, the ENSUT network would help me to increase the scope of collaboration on several important topics that relate to the visitor economy. As CELTH we are already facilitating research collaboration between institutes and industry, but with ENSUT the impact of research can be even broader.
All the ENSUT themes are well-chosen and relate to my expertise and fields of interest. Therefore, coloboration on all of these themes would make sense for me
