The meeting will mainly focus on a general update of the projects activities, achievements and planning of future steps. Among others, the possible amendment to the Protocol as well as the financial resources reallocation according to the recruitment performance at any involved centre will be discussed during the meeting.
The choice to select Tunis as venue for the next General Assembly comes from the willingness to raise awareness on the recruiting centres that are the backbone of the recruitment activities and to focus the attention on the Mediterranean region, in line with the Horizon 2020 strategy aimed at strengthening the cooperation with the Mediterranean area through the promotion of joint research projects in the health field in order to promote the development and the Mediterranean integrity itself.
