Network expansion is the first issue of this WP. For this purpose, a continuous search for relevant partners will be adopted through inviting of external experts at the EUE-Net events as well as visiting other European bodies and institutions that are susceptible of bringing a valuable input to EUE-Net. The main purpose of this task is to identify and integrate into the network the relevant partners to allow the development of SNet 1 and SNet2. Based of the experience carried out within the project, the two SNet`s are expected to evolve afterwards in Pan European networks dedicated to the respective topics, keeping however a full integration into the overall EUE-Net agenda. As result of these activities in the last year of the project, within this WP a "Strategy group" will be appointed in order to elaborate the Agenda of EUE-Net for the period 2010-2013.

Network sustainability is the main issue of WP6. The functioning of the official Association established within EUI-Net will be consolidated and prepared to undertake possible tasks at European level. In particular, the possibility to evolve into a European Observatory in the area of U-E cooperation will be explored in cooperation with the appropriate DG`s of the European Commission. For this purpose White Paper of University - Enterprise cooperation in Europe will be elaborated within WP6 and made available for the relevant stakeholders. It is anticipated that the high market value of the project outputs and the exploitation plans delivered as outputs of WP5 will allow the elaboration of a sustainable plan for continuation after the project completion. The possibility of cooperation with the European Commission DG Education and DG Enterprise will be also explored through a series of targeted meetings that will be planned with officials from these DG`s.
