Conceptandobjectives Concept to mix training, practical work side-by-side with experienced NCPs and effective work to ensure that services offered by NCPs reach similar qualitative level across Europe. The main objectivesare: 1. Strengthening the cooperation between NCPs from EU Member States by promoting transnational cooperation 2. Reinforcing international cooperation with NCPs from some of the International Cooperation Partner Countries (ICPC) with high potential of participation to FP7 3. Increasing the number and improving the quality of project proposals submitted to FP7 calls for proposals by a better service offered by National Contact Points to potential proposers (scientific community industry, NGOs, etc.) http://www.env-ncp-together.eu/
