All four focal points will operate as components of a center through the video conference equipment. All together represent the RINNO Training Activities.

A special section will be dedicated to the RINNO Virtual Technological Expertise to support the technological transfer using the capacities of the existing research institutes.

IT&C RINNO PLATFORM to develop communication and cooperation between central and local partners for innovative development

RINNO PLATFORMis the heart of the strategic project. It is a data storage and recovery centre for all partners and beneficiaries.

The Management Authority could decide to host on this platform the documents, web sites, applications of all projects from Romania - Bulgaria Cross-Border Cooperation Program. This approach will increase the accessibility to the projects for all interested parties from all over the world.

The instrument will offer a lot of facilities for the universities, research entities and SMEs to run applications for new models of competitive development and to keep the track of the evolution in the market. The RINNO PLATFORM will offer a huge capacity for storage which is not accessible for a single entity without the support of the EU. This is an example of the major role the EU is playing into the eligible area to generate new services for innovative entities.

Our decision is to purchase a mobile data and recovery centre.
