Work Package 2 - Exchange of research programme
information
WP2 is dedicated towards developing an
understanding of the overall portfolio of
research being funded by the SKEP participants,
the identification of research themes, gaps and
the consequent identification of opportunities
for joint research activities.
WP2 outputs A consolidated database of research
activities (June 2006), and a strategic
assessment of environmental research activities
across Europe (June 2007 ) will be used
As a screening tool for Science Departments
to - prevent unnecessary expenditure on new
projects - promote collaborative working on
projects of joint concern to extend our
science budget - disseminate their science more
effectively
