For the achievement of the objectives, and corresponding to the programme structure a combination of networking, service and research programmes is planned in order to promote a culture of cooperation between partners (networking); maintenance and progressive upgrading of high quality services to the target community (service); and the development of major improvements combining the advice and assessment of the councils instituted in the networking planning and the work of specialised teams (joint research). Before detailing the specific programme for networking, service and research activities separately in sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6,

• Table 1.3a lists the work packages for each type of activity, while Table 1.3d lists the project milestones
