Krimnianiotis (KEKMIT) Apologies: Ann Crowley, Castlebar Community Radio (EMPLOYMENT NOW) The meeting began with a discussion in relation to a request from an Irish NOW project to be included in LINKS. Those present agreed that because this project was not represented at the meeting and also since the Greek and Italian Horizon national authorities do not promote cross-strand co-operation within EMPLOYMENT initiative when there is not sufficient mutual and complimentary inputs that we should and must proceed without this project. The Irish national Horizon co-ordinator was contacted immediately in order to alert the NOW project and their national co-ordinator to this situation so that they could find an alternative trans-national parternship. The remaining business of the meeting focused on agreement of the LINKS budget and subsequently reviewed the expected specific outputs of LINKS, what form they would take. time frames and responsible officers. This ended the first official meeting of LINKS.
