9:30 - 10:30 Coordinator´s Report
(presentation by the coordinator of the network and of the mid-term review report)
Scientific:
The scientific, technological or socio-economic reasons for carrying out research in the field covered by the network. The research objectives of the joint work. Scientific highlights of the work so far.
Networking and training:
The methodological approach and work plan.How the network functions and how the partner collaborate.Connections to industry.The training programme, distinguishing between pre- and postdocs. Use of the budget.
