Target Groups
This overview provides a list of key international/European organisations and national bodies with a strong international profile. In addition it is envisaged that project partners (VOLGT LINK NAAR GROEP) would disseminate findings to their national contacts that would then carry on with local information (also in national languages). This is being facilitated with centrally developed inventories and overviews.
The different target groups mentioned in the Overview (see chapter 2) are elaborated on in this chapter. The following tables are portrayed:
