EXPERT ADVICE - representatives of the Relay centres, OPETs, ETSU, BRECSU and the national programme co-ordinator are expected to attend and will be available throughout the day to talk to you informally and advise you on the points of special interest for your organisation. If there is sufficient demand, informal 'workshops' providing opportunity for more detailed discussions with speakers and experts will be run after lunch.

NETWORKING - these seminars will provide a good opportunity to get together with other organisations in your area which are interested in JOULE and THERMIE activities.

EXHIBITION - a small exhibition will accompany the seminars. It is intended that this will include poster exhibits on other energy programmes and innovative energy technologies, as well as on-line demonstrations of CORDIS and other databases.
