### SSS-CA: Meetings and workshops

ŠNTUA, 1996

As many as twelve (12) meetings are anticipated for this concerted action, spanning the years 1995 to 1998. The purpose of the meetings is to review progress vis-a-vis the plan, and take action in response to issues that need to be addressed.

Some (as many as five) of the meetings of the action will be designated as "workshops". Workshops are expected to perform some or all of the following functions:
1. Enlarge the action group by inviting selected experts.
2. Discuss technical issues on topics of relevance to the action (such as pilot projects).
3. Connect with related shared cost actions in a forum of cross-project information exchange.
4. Deliver intermediate and/or final results of the action.
5. Present scientific and technical communications to the shipping community at large.

Invited experts will be from other projects, ministries, the shipping and shipbuilding industries, and from elsewhere, as appropriate. Suggestions for possible invitees will be solicited from action regular participants.

Most of the meetings will be in Brussels. A limited number of meetings will be held in other locations, if appropriate facilities are available. The precise set of meeting venues will be determined after input from action participants and discussion within the Technical Secretariat and with the Commission.
