The SURE Facilitation and Synthesis Research Project organizes synergy workshops on an ongoing basis. The cross-project networking of all SURE members is just as important to us as the development of synergy potential for the entire funding priority. For more information on the topics discussed and the synthesis findings, please refer to our handouts which are available to download on the event sites.
