Nevertheless the HerO network shares the idea in reducing the carbon foot-print as<br />
far as possible which is underlined by the below mentioned initiatives.<br />
Keeping the meetings to a reasonable number in order to allow effective exchange<br />
of experience between the experts and stakeholders: on trans-national<br />
level 7 major events (with all network partners and associated experts) are<br />
planned during the implementation phase; other scheduled meetings, e.g. with<br />
the Managing Authorities, are mostly of bilateral nature and will be arranged on<br />
a local level.<br />
Careful selection of meeting locations: the majority of major events is planned<br />
to be held at a centralised place in Europe easy accessible by all partners (e.g.<br />
Graz, Regensburg, Poitiers); for some of the partners it allows to travel by train.<br />
As far as possible the lead partner will try to twin network meetings with other<br />
scheduled events of interest to the partners (steering meetings, other major<br />
events etc.) which allows the partners to participate in both events while benefiting<br />
from an added value of experience and saving travel costs to keep the CO 2<br />
emissions to a limited extent.<br />
In general the network co-operation between the partners will be based on efficient<br />
communication flow by using electronic services (e-mail) and telephone<br />
(even tel.-conferences, whenever three or more partners are communicating at<br />
the same time), as these technical possibilities are all available and well functioning<br />
in the partner cities.<br />
Moreover the lead partner will spend efforts towards setting up of an onlineplatform<br />
(HerO intranet) to enable efficient communication and ex-change of<br />
working material between the partners.<br />
Last but not least the lead partner has proposed a lead expert located in the<br />
same country (Germany) which will enable a close and intensive co-operation<br />
between the main responsible actors of the network (lead partner and lead expert)<br />
while at the same time avoiding extensive travel costs and saving CO 2<br />
emissions.<br />
