The Monitoring Committee met on 28-29 April in Stockholm and decided to invite 81 project concepts to be developed into advanced project proposals. The Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat (MA/JS) invited the applicants of the selected concept notes to the project development workshops. The workshop II took place on 28-29 May in Berlin in the NH hotel Friedrichstraße.  During this workshop the MA/JS staff provided guidance on how to develop a good quality application. On the first day we discussed such issues as a project strategy, partnership, work plan, budget, state aid and many others. On the second day we arranged individual consultations upon prior request.
