And on that was focused the workshop for representatives of Regional Observatories that took place in the Environment Park in Turin.

During for hours full of discussions, the participants had the opportunity to take part in 8 thematic panels, focused on the SMART_watch project issues. Among the topics that were brought up was how to manage the project, how to tackle the issue of communication, both internal and external,
and how to network.
