Do you want to be part of the SorTex project monitoring group?

To support the purpose of the SorTex project, we have set up an advisory group, which aims to:

  • Facilitate knowledge and experience sharing from project activities

  • Facilitate dialog between project partners and relevant stakeholders on key challenges, opportunities and activities

  • Support an iterative project process that adapts to stakeholder needs over time

 

Composition and meetings

The monitoring group consists of permanent members who follow the project throughout its three-year period. Participants can be representatives from public institutions, municipalities, private companies, NGOs, industry organizations and other relevant actors.
