EC CIRCABC Interest Group Citizen Observatories Created

    The EC Research Programme Officer Jose Miguel Rubio Iglesias has setup a CIRCABC (Communication and Information Resource Centre for Administrations, Businesses and Citizens) Interest Group Citizen Observatories (Category: Research) for the five Citizens’ Observatories Projects to start sharing project documents or articles, create forums for discussion or share calendar of activities. CIRCABC is accessible to any user outside as well inside the European Institutions. An Interest Group is a private workspace shared by a community of users, which can upload and download documents according to the user profile. In order for a user to access the system, it will be necessary for you to have an ECAS account. You can ask Jose Miguel to give you the permission to join the Citizen Observatories group.
