This is an ambitious challenge, which requires monthly meetings of the Control Room and weeklymeetings among the Working Groups, plus some workshops with public and private stakeholders. At theend of each meeting or workshop, proceedings will be issued and shared within the whole Control Room, inorder to promote integration and cross-contamination, thus creating appropriate operational synergies.
To support the Working Groups in their activities, some services have been provided, including:
