The current project period which has been running since November 2013 and will end in April 2014, represents the activities focusing on LiCEA tool development, writing up LiCEA manual for stakeholders and on first contact with the main beneficiaries - SMEs in six different industrial sectors across five central European countries. The time passes fast and before us is „spring” meeting in the Lead Partner´s place - Mantova, Italy. This project meeting is considered as the project milestone given the fact training seminar teaching how to collect the data and how to use LiCEA tool will be provided to all project partners.
