The special case of Integrating Activities limited only to networking activities will be implemented through Coordination actions.

This activity will help catalyse the mutual co-ordination and the pooling of resources among the consortium of participants, with the aim of fostering a culture of co-operation between them. This should serve, e.g., to generate critical mass by co-ordinating research into new instrumentation, new methods, concepts and technologies.

Networking activities will also aim at spreading good practice, promoting common protocols and interoperability, encouraging complementarity and, where appropriate, developing and maintaining common databases and stimulating the creation of distributed or virtual facilities. Activities in this context will include, where relevant, publicity concerning new opportunities for access, dissemination of knowledge, training courses for potential users and foresight studies.
