Based on the SWOT analysis and in accordance with the Work Program of the call, coherent set of measures are elaborated. Full research potential will be realized in close cooperation with 3 outstanding EU partnering organisations (POs) in the same S&T domain. The NARSS human will be enhanced by: developing strategic partnership with POs, by transferring and sharing of experience and knowledge; - recruitment of experienced researchers to prevent brain drain; - dissemination and promotion of acquired knowledge at national, regional and international level, especially in the MED region. SUDSOE outcome is related to diverse beneficiaries, such as scientific community, general public, local authorities, policy makers and diverse stake-holders.
