| Results | The ultimate output of the Co-ordination Action will be a set of Best Practices Guidelines for the development and application of Dss tools for IWRM in the countries of Mediterranean basin. The guidelines will be developed with the active participation of scientists, policy makers, and key stakeholders (such as small and medium enterprises, as well as user groups), through a structured sequence of actions aimed at favouring efficient exchanges of information, knowledge and experiences between the various components of the project. The main expected results of the Co-ordination Action are: Improved communication between science and policy; Improved co-operation among Mediterranean institutions; Identification of multi-sectoral approaches to the design, development and implementation of DSS tools in IWRM; Identification of multi-disciplinary approaches to the design, development and implementation of DSS tools in IWRM; Assessment of data availability and constraints in relation to DSS users' needs; Establishment of durable links and long-term collaborations between the partners and representatives of the policy and academic institutions in the Mediterranean Area. |
