Transnational exchange of experiences and dissemination of best practices can constitute an important supporting element in the work should provide the SiS NCPs, at the same time contributing to the realisation of the concept of the Science in Society. The experiences of the benchmarking exercises within the activities to realise the SiS might serve as a source of stimulation. Also several activities like training and info workshops, development of databases. EUROSiS will bring together all the NCPs for the Science in Society program in order to create a network and continually improve their services thought the exchange of good practices, communication of all the representatives, the creation of a well structure partner search tool. Furthermore a lot of events will be organised in order to train both the new NCPs as well as the already experience.

One of the most important activities of the project will be the survey of the competence of the already nominated NCPs. This will be performed through mapping the SiS NCPs competences and stakeholders needs in order to launch the first knowledge management tool for the SiS NCP services. The main aim of the EUROSiS project is to create needed infrastructure in order to newly formed SiS NCP network set the basis in order to nominated NCPs start working as a team in order to have common benefits in their work and at the same time to provide the effective services to the stakeholders. As the project will last for two years the main effort will be allocated in order to create the framework and establish the basic procedures and framework so to have future collaboration within the NCP community. It has to be noted that SiS NCP Network is established for the first time to the basic issues for the period of the proposed project is to establish the needed communication in a very well structure way.
