Evaluation of the work undertaken:
The work plan has been fully accomplished and the objectives and results have been reached as predicted in the proposal.
The project management has been efficient and has benefited from the long experience of the partnership running European projects.
The first transnational meeting, held in Florence in February 08, has been a successful kick-off event to launch the main activities for the reported period.
The second transnational meeting, held in Rome in September, has been a good chance to evaluate the first year's outcomes and to analize the second year's objectives and their deadlines.
It is also important to mention that the highly professional competence and expertise of the Coordinating institution, PIXEL, have made the partners’ contribution possible and satisfactory.

Some issues in the Interim financial report had to be modified and some more documents had to be sent to Pixel to meet the conditions set by the National Agency.

The organization of the third transnational meeting in Gijón was rather successful on both the professional and social aspects.
This institution has never failed in complying with all the objectives and activities to be performed for the succesful development of this project.
