Project results

Transparency regarding the Match’In procedure and scientific monitoring of the project are important to us. Throughout Match’In 1.0 as well as Match’In 2.0, we are also working on the accompanying research at the universities of Hildesheim and Erlangen-Nuremberg. We focus on the following:

This way, we intend to find out what the Match’In algorithm achieves with regard to its actual goal, how the implementation of the newly developed procedure works, and what effects the project has beyond that.

The results of the 2021-2025 project phase (Match’In 1.0) were published in a policy paper which can be found here:
