After vivid discussion and comparison of different funding sources partners moved to another important matter – planning of next meeting that will take place in Lodz and will be hosted by Pro-Akademia.
After short break partners focused on main course, which is elaboration of new tool that will help to assess effectiveness of resources management in small and medium enterprises. In order to do so a review of existing tools and software was made. It is noteworthy that Ms Caterina Rinaldi (representative of ENEA) presented very interesting solution called eVerdee – that can be used to perform LCA analysis in very user friendly manner. It also should be noted that this software can be downloaded from www.ecosmes.net
