30 training events were organized between 2009 - 2014 on Telecommunication policy, Regulatory issues, Telecommunication management, New technologies and services with a view to adequately meet the human resources and training and development needs of the region. These CoEs also served to enhance the role of telecommunications and ICTs as a tool for development. Furthermore, the CoEs supported the work of the National Regulatory Authorities (NRA) in their efforts to effectively create knowledge economies and information societies throughout Europe. At all times the nodes seek to avoid duplication of efforts, and promote regional collaboration in the telecommunication sector among policy makers, regulators and the private sector to promote the harmonization of the region’s telecommunication markets. Project Partners: Bulgaria, Greece, FYR of Macedonia, Poland, Romania and Turkey. |
