Aim of the meeting :
The P2P Programme intends to offer to civil society organisations from the beneficiary
countries the possibility to visit EU institutions, as well as relevant EU platform
organisations, or whenever relevant for the topic of the study tours, also other
European, international or national organisations, in order to familiarise themselves
with EU structures, policy making process, programmes, policies and best practices.
The aim of this study tour is to give participants the opportunity to familiarise
themselves with the EU policies and programmes related to science, innovation and
research, as well as to offer them exchange and networking opportunities among
themselves and with other European-level civil society organisations active in these
fields. Some examples of practical actions will also be presented to the participants.
Participants will represent mainly associations of teachers, scientists and researchers
form the candidate countries and potential candidates to EU accession.
Around 35 persons are expected to take part in the study tour.
