meeting hosted by a polish partner and italian partner AGIRE will be presented.

The current project period which has been running since November 2013

and will end in April 2014, represents the activities focusing on LiCEA tool

development, writing up LiCEA manual for stakeholders and on first contact with the

main beneficiaries - SMEs in six different industrial sectors across five central European

countries.

The time passes fast and before us is „spring” meeting in the Lead Partner´s

place - Mantova, Italy. This project meeting is considered as the project milestone
