GEBP 2001 - retrospect analyse

• Strengths A clear and precise need identified. The project is very well motivated concerning structural changes in both education and business life.

Strong partnerships but more distinct connection to entrepreneurs and research organisations needed.

GEBP 2001- retrospect analyse

• Weaknesses The work programme must be more concrete and distinct. Dissemination of results and outcomes must be better specified. The budget too voluminous in it´s connection to the work programme (too much on staff costs and travel)
