and political level (i.e. Ministerial Meetings)<br />

dialogue with the candidate countries and<br />
potential candidates.<br />
In line with the countries needs and<br />
priorities, the project envisages tasks across<br />
several sectors, involves large number of<br />
stakeholders from different countries. The<br />
project is also well coordinated with other<br />

information, composed of RENA website,<br />
databases of projects and outputs, extranet<br />

newsletters, all in line with the EC visibility<br />
guidelines.<br />
