Publishable information on project (for Programme Med website and general external communication activities) 2.1 Description of activities, outputs and results since the project start The project's principal objective lies in the establishment of an inter-active platform for actors and agencies in the areas of water management and eco-construction. This platform has been created and is an instrument which is being used increasingly. An equally important objective is the promotion of activities between different SMEs in the four countries of the partnership: France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Each of the partners is enagaging actively in specific coaching and accompanying activities with these SMEs. The participation of INSMED in the three international fairs during this period, in Paris, Barcelona and Montpellier, together with the participation of a number of SMEs in full-scale B2B engagement, is testimony to the achievement of this objective. The programmed participation of two such SMEs in a similar event in Paris, in November 2011 (BATIMAT) will further consolidate this area of work. 2.2 Description of activities, outputs and results during the reporting period The participation of INSMED in three international trade fairs in the construction and water management sectors, in Paris in April (INNOVATIVE BUILDINGS); and in Barcelona (CONSTRUMAT) and Montpellier (HYDROGAIA) in May The Spanish Partner's participation in a Technical Workshop on 15 June 2011, under the auspices of the Provincial MED Page 7 / 8
