WP7 Dissemination of project results

The results on implementation of the MCSP within the participating countries, in Europe, and worldwide will be disseminated in this work package. Close relations with all work packages will need to be established to ensure that important developments and results are communicated to a wider audience. Another aim of this work pack is to keep track of countries and organizations that are interested in implementation of the MCSP in their own country.
