We are inviting you to a short survey aiming to evaluate our cooperation on national and transnational levels, working modalities, structures, internal communication as well as dissemination efforts.

Please fill in the survey until 30 September by the latest! If you are able to fill it in until 17 September (until Network Meeting), then this would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time!
