The second day of the conference is dedicated to common themes shared by the two programmes.
Session 1: Towards an effective institutional network
Working with several institutions in a network has several advantages with respect to synergies in performing activities and expanding knowledge. But there are also the extra tasks of co-ordinating plans and activities, managing other people, frequently adjusting time schedules, to name a few.
Some projects will tell their story about networking and collaboration, the difficulties encountered and the solutions found towards improved and sustainable networks.

Session 3: Technical and financial reporting, EDF Procedures
Reporting is a contractual obligation and the main communication tool between the programmes’ beneficiaries and the Contracting Authority. It is also an essential monitoring tool for all actors involved.
This session will highlight the reporting requirements, including problems encountered and solutions found, examples of good practices and recommendations to improve the reporting process. Through the exchange of experiences and information, project participants will gain knowledge on appropriately monitoring and reporting on their project activities and results.
