The overall objective of Work Package 6 is to ensure SUSFANS products are of optimal value to a balanced range of end users by building and maintaining a solid and effective interaction with a broad stakeholder community throughout the life of the project. It is of major importance to build and maintain a relation with the stakeholders throughout the project involving them in a proactive manner.
