SIG - Mobility : this group organises the support of personnel mobility between BOs, through financial support when all criteria are fulfilled.
SIG - Dissemination : this group works on dissemination, covering both knowledge management arising from research and twinning activities, and the identification / implementation of ways and means of diffusion (including e-learning).
