5th SMART_watch Project Transnational Meeting 

Steering Commitee meeting, technical meeting, workshops for Regional Observatories and study visits.

The event will focus on building the network for the Regional Observatories. During the workshops for ROs representatives, the participants will learn from each other in an exchange of experiences with best-practice examples in order to receive suggestions for their own work.The focus here is on business development from the political as well as the entrepreneurial side.

Since the project goal is forming the international network of BSOs, a larger part of the workshop will also deal with the planning and strategic development of this initiative, as each participant is cordially invited to contribute their wishes and ideas for the development of a network strategy.

The focus of study visits consist of the following topics:

• Life-science, 
• Food and agriculture,
• Energy.
