This form of learning is based on creating a social relation, between people with common interests, in order to improve their professional knowledge.

This phase of our project was a real success, since the number of people interested in being part of our community of practices exceeded the number estimated by the implementation team 3) after the creation and completion of the project target group, the project team started to organize meetings and seminars in each of the five development regions 4) the last phase of the project, which is currently underway, is dedicated to the dissemination of the results.

Public acquisition: within the course of public acquisitions were discussed legislative aspects, mistakes that can be made and consequences of these errors. All these elements were discussed by the members of community who were present at the meetings and by the lecturers-practitioners specialized in the field of the ESF projects; –b. Accounting: there were discussed problems regarding the accounting and financial problems of the ESF projects. Moreover, the members of the community and the experts debated legislative issues governing this part of the project and various ambiguities of the beneficiaries; – c. Audit: the implementation and management responsibility of the European projects belong not only to the beneficiaries, but also to the auditors who certify the eligibility of the incurred expenses. To improve the quality of this activity the project team decided to implement a comprehensive approach of the national and European legislation on the audit of the projects financed by the ESF The role of the universities was to create an informal learning environment necessary for a strong professional and social relationship of the people with common professional interests.

These meetings were led by practitioners who have knowledge and professional experience in the ESF field. During these courses the members of the community of practices could discuss on the problems they faced in the projects’ implementation activities In addition to the regular meetings that were held in the six partners in the project, the community of practice exercises an ongoing activity via a special website designed to support the professional activity of the members at national level. The site of the community of practice ( offers access to information legislation; it facilitates the discussions between members of the community of practice (online forum) and develops the experience exchangewww.practicifse.ro Another indicator of the efficiency of the community of practice is represented by the publications of specialized literature. Each member of the community of practice can contribute to the editing of the “Guide of best practice”. Therefore, all the experienced result of the members can be shared via the website provided by our project.
