Mobilisation for the European Network of Territorial Intelligence (ENTI)
After the successful caENTI dissemination seminar in Brussels, on last April 16th, the month of May will be dedicated to the constitution of the European Network of Territorial Intelligence (ENTI). This dissemination seminar was a milestone between the caENTI and the preparation of a project in the framework of the 7th European research and dissemination program of the European Union. M. RIZZO, our scientific officer, closed the seminar with a presentation containing many advices in that direction.
caENTI ended on February, 28th 2009. Final reports were delivered during the seminar, meeting deadlines. The next call for project proposals will probably be lauched in September, with a deadline for submission in January.
A project of such importance has to be prepared in advance.
