Furthermore, improving the ability and skills of officials, lecturers, IT technicians, postgraduate students through international workshops, training courses and summer schools is one of priorities of this project. An open platform will be founded to foster academic exchanging, shared experimental facilities and joint scientific research with a dream of the long-lasting efficiency of the post-project development.
