of 20.09.2001, presented a programme of the EU co-financing of the Centre activities directed to better integration of the Centre the European research area.
It was to be done by improving the links between the Centre and other European centres through organising of and participating in conferences, seminars, and
workshops as well as through scientist exchange, training, networking, and twinning arrangements. To achieve this, the programme REA has been organised into seven, interrelated Work Packages, five of which (WP1-5) represented the leading research themes
of the five Centre's Working Groups. The planned dissemination measures are contained in the separate Work Package (WP-6) as it was the co-ordination measures
(WP-7). Each Work Package consisted of several Tasks, grouping different measures, e.g. conferences (organised or participated in), workshops, training
courses, capacity building, twinning, national networks, international networks etc. The Centre, in the course of executing the programme, will closely co-operate with the on-going research EU co-financed projects, carried out within the
thematic scope of the REA interest, participating in their conferences and workshops as well as inviting and engaging their specialists into seminars organised
by REA. At the same time, the close co-operation with the EU professional staff, their participation in the events organised by REA included, was envisaged.
