Proposals should support the relevant IWG and/or stakeholders fora of the above-listed sector, taking into consideration the specific needs of the sector they address and the emerging policy priorities for their implementation as well as the coordination with other initiatives/projects, in order to avoid overlaps. Furthermore, proposals should develop a dissemination and exploitation strategy and implement dissemination and networking activities with other existing ETIPs and IWGs (e.g. joint workshops, thematic conferences, webinar series, regular exchanges, etc.). Relevant outputs of this CSA will feed into the SET Plan information system (SETIS).
