The European Commission (EC) organised the kick-off meeting for the LIFE 2012 winner projects in Warsaw. The event was held on 5th November 2013 with the participation of Hungarian, Slovenian, Slovakian, Czech and Polish beneficiaries.
The technical and financial desk officers of the EC, the Polish monitoring experts and coordinating beneficiaries of the projects participated in the event. The presentations of the EC desk officers focussed on technical and administration challenges and their support from Brussels. The question and answers session provided useful inputs to the project implementation. There were 23 project presentations in the afternoon session. Based on the presentations, most of the Eastern European LIFE 2012 projects focus on grassland rehabilitation, the number of wetland projects is much lower (2-3 presentations). Project KASZÓ-LIFE was presented by Mr István Lábodi, exernal project management expert.
