Purpose of WP5
Important issues
Overview of WP5
Details of WP5

3. Purpose of WP5
WP addresses transnational aspects and possibilities for harmonizing policies/legislation related to
1) SARM
2) secure supply,
3) establishment of a Regional Centre for SARM and SSM.
First 2 activities lead to recommendations for creation of a Aggregate Intelligence System (AIS) for SEE.
multi-purpose, multi-scale interoperable
Outputs will be summarized in a manual
incorporating outputs of WP4,
using in dissemination activities (workshops, brochures).
Workshops on transnational supply: Will emphasize how to ensure SSM,
considering environmental impacts
considering increased recycling,
enhancing economic development across SEE.
Regional Centre has potential to become a durable result of the project.

4. Important issues of WP5 Creation of a SARMa-method and SSM-Policies
Implementation of transnational view of theoretical and practical outputs in SEE.
Know-how transfer through AIS integration and Regional Centre establishment of SARM and SSM,
in order to achieve efficient implementation of SARM harmonized approaches,
thus increasing sustainable quality of life,
resource efficiency and long term cooperation in SEE countries.

5. Overview of WP 5 / Objectives
Feasibility study and action plan for
Regional Centre on SARM in SEE 5.4
Long term implementation of SARMa, i.e.
Outputs of WP3,4,5.
