8. Sustainable Energy Systems Slide n° 8  Most of documents and Guiders of EC are prepared for „Research & Development” projects, however Centre of Excellence is not typical. Therefore, some problems occur: WC for short term visitors and speakers.  Financial Department of the WUT has no experience in document processing for EC.  Lack of flexibility in project implementation Problems encountered

9. Sustainable Energy Systems Slide n° 9  Knowledge dissemination concerning new technologies and intelligent control in renevable and integrated energy systems  Presentation of modern West Europe technology in East and Middle European countries  Seminar and Workshops organised by PELINCEC were highly appreciated and attended (50 participants in average)  Creation of new research projects as result of foreign high qualified visitors from industry and academic  Improving of PhD-projects thanks to „face to face” discussion with professors from West European universities.  Number of publications (scientific paper) in PE journal  Newsletter Degree of satisfaction
