Conclusions



PP1 is strongly committed to making of
HYDROCARE a real success
PP1 encourages collaborations with all PPs in
order to coordinate the execution of the actions
It especially important to coordinate the
publicity and dissemination activities: we need to
decide very soon location and time of
conferences, meetings, training initiatives and we
need a common action on media.
