Proceed as a success story on ENV-NCP TOGETHER portal

The specific research sectors on which PROCEED will focus are Air pollution, Chemical pollution, Environmental Technologies. The partners will create a data base of all innovative environmental research practices and results originating in CEEC and will lead a SWOT analysis of the existing channels and tools used to communicate environmental research results in Europe with specific focus to Academia, policy makers and industry. The PROCEED communication system will be made of personal communication in national and international workshops and a web 2.0-based research social network, an interactive communication channel specifically targeted at creating research opportunities Among other, results will be the signing of TT agreements and the collaborative participation in FP environment project proposals.
The project partnership covers 9 CEEC (6 new Member States and 3 Associated countries) and 3 EU- 15 Member states All 12 project countries are represented by at least one partner member of the Enterprise Europe Network which will be the main communication channel in the project, with its 600 members present in all European countries and beyond (including China and United States) and an extended network of contacts and partners. Partners will engage other EEN members, the Fp7 National Contact Points Network and other relevant FP7 coordination and support actions to create an integrated communication system. Partners will plan the exploitation of the project after its lifetime through the integration of PROCEED tools in the EEN activities.

European Impact:
The whole concept of the PROCEED project is based on a European-based
approach which is necessary to
trigger an effective involvement of Central and Eastern
European countries (but not only!) in S&T collaboration
at EU level and increase the
uptake of environmental research results. The European added value can be
demonstrated by: 1.
Increased collaboration on, access to, and use of environmental research results in an
enlarged Europe. 2. Improved dissemination and use of tailor-made tools for communication and
dissemination
