Where are we now?

ERIK ACTION kicked off in Brussels (BE) on the 7th-8th July 2008. Since then 4 project meetings have been held (Kozani - Oct 2008, Brussels - Feb 2009, Livorno - March 2009, St Pölten - May 2009), including in-depth Good Practice transfer sessions, training sessions and study visits

By mid September, all partners had chosen good practices to transfer into their region and had developed an initial plan for involving key regional stakeholders.

ERIK ACTION was presented at the workshop "The need to network: the example of INTERREG IVC" at the a 2008 Open Days in Brussels.
