Dear colleagues,

We are currently involved in a project proposal for a European programme, the ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP) under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) (open call until 9 September), and seeking a Croatian partner (a public body, ideally) that would want to take part on it.

The project aims to transfer e-administration instruments and procedures, in order to facilitate the follow-up on construction projects, taking into account local, national ans European regulation. For further information, please see the document attached.

We are seeking the involvement of a Croatian partner, ideally a public entity with authority in the construction field, that would test the pilot application, and implement it internally, getting a better administrative capacity and management in the field of urbanism and construction control and authorisation.

If you think that the project is interesting, I would appreciate if you inform on our search for partners to potentially interested public bodies . For further information, they can contact me or Lucia Gregorio (l.gregorio@econet-consultant.com), who´s coordinating the search of partners at European level, and can provide a more detailed information on the project aims and requirements for partners.
