The purpose of the IDARI meeting in November
Mark Tomlinson
5th November 2003
The main objectives are as follows:
- To allow the subcontractors to meet the students and other researchers and introduce themselves etc.
- To give the sub-contractors an opportunity to present work that their institute is doing and give some background information on their institutes
- To give the students an opportunity to present their initial ideas for their PhD work
- To assess the possibilities of sub-contractors collecting comparable data between CEE countries related to some of the research clusters
- To assess what databases already exist that the sub-contractors have access to and what might be useful to the project as a whole
- For the sub-contractors to agree and sign their contracts
There is a summary of the responses I received from the subcontractors at the end of this document, which indicates which clusters data might be available for and which clusters the subcontractors are mainly interested in.
