WP10 Setting up of expert groups

• Establish a virtual network of experts
• related to innovative IT and communication
  solutions
• for transport logistics and maritime applications
• around Baltic Regional Competence Center
• Experts groups benefit from combined knowledge
  generated by eLogmar-M and their own background
• Generation of added-value services
• Seeds for future cooperation, e.g., networks of
  excellence
• Specific tasks
• Develop the rules mission statements
• Establish operation of expert groups
• Marketing and presentation of services
