ESPON Info Day: second round for calls for proposals 11-08-2008 The second round of calls for proposals of the ESPON 2013 Programme
(European Spatial Planning Observation Network) will be presented during an
information day to be held in Brussels on 9 September 2008. All potential

taking part in ESPON project activities are invited to the event. The content
and eligibility criteria of the three calls for proposals (open on 20 August
2008) will be presented during the first part of the programme.

research and targeted analysis, enabling an exchange of information on research
interests, skills and resources and facilitating the building of future
partnerships.
