3.2 - WG achievements

3.2(a)- Did the project meet its targets in terms of outcomes (as given in the application form, particularly in the workplan). Please comment on any under or over achievements of targets. (no more than 400 characters).

In general, the objectives have been successfully completed. However, not all the tasks have been completed. In spite of that, some tasks of the first year have been improved. The delay in some activities planned is not a consequence of the working group; it is just a lack of results of the other groups of investigation.
It has been planned the end of the tasks delayed to the third year of the Net.	

3.2(b) - What was the added value of the project? (no more than 400 characters).

The results of the reports made by the working group has been used by the Commission formed by members of Spanish educational institutions specialized in these specific subjects, that have elaborated the “White Book” of the future study programme in Surveying and Geomatics Engineering, according to the aims of the Declaration of Bolonia.	

3.2(c) - What was the overall contribution of the transnational work? Please comment on the value of transnational activities to the achievements of your project objectives at national and transnational level. Include any unanticipated benefits. (no more than 400 characters).

The exchange activities within Europe countries are always necessary to complete with success the objectives of the Net. In a National stage, it increase the possibilities of meeting and in the Transnational one, provide exchanges of ideas. 
As “unanticipated benefits”, we could include the interpersonal relationships (future collaborations, trips, exchanges…); in summary, the “mobility”.	

3.2.(d) - How will the project partnership and project network or activities/results be sustained beyond the Community grant? (no more than 400 characters).
Due to the changes in the curricula by the consequences of the Bolonia’s aims, it will be necessary the financial subsidy of the EU to the working group next year. Otherwise, it would be necessary a recognition of the activities of the Net by the educational authorities, as investigational activities due to the time that its involve.
