The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), as WP8 member, will explain the importance of getting policymakers involved in a research project such as eCAN.

Guidance and further support will be provided to all the partners, in order to maximise the impact of their local/national and external communities for the eCAN project and contribute to the extension of collaborations with policymakers.

This workshop develops as a dynamic dialogue with partners, during which appropriate levels and mechanisms/tools towards the effective engagement and recruitment of policymakers will be presented by AUTH lead partner.

The main goal of this workshop is to share practical strategies for coordinating and performing effective policymakers recruitment and engagement.

At the end of the workshop, all participants will have the opportunity to express their concerns regarding the effective engagement, motivation to participate, and any other concern that may arouse for the organization and implementation of activities with this type of stakeholders.
