Objective
The ICOS study aims to provide recommendations for the improvement of coordination between actors at various levels (EU, national, regional), active in various aspects (policy making, policy delivery, conducting research, advisory boards, policy influencing organisations) of research in the field of environment and sustainable development. One of the main features of the project is the dialogue with these actors and their participation in the development of recommendations. The development of recommendations will be mainly done during national workshops that will be organised in each of the 15 EU Member States. The overall results of the project will be presented and discussed during a validation seminar in Brussels.
