Second CONCERTO Information Day - 24 September 2003
The second CONCERTO info day was aimed primarily at those proposers who had already started to prepare their proposals. It provided more detailed information than the first info day on contractual and legal issues, including the consortium agreement. It also included a session of "speed dating" for those local communities which had clear plans for their own community, but still needed to find partners from other countries.The speed dating appeared to work very well.
Presentations from the Second CONCERTO Information Day can be found on the CONCERTO Information Day - Official Web Page
Second CIVITAS II Information Day - 24 September 2003
The second CIVITAS II information day was primarily aimed at proposers who had already started to prepare their proposal.
