National Authorities are counterparts of the JMA in the programme preparation period, in the framework of which they are responsible for the coordination of the programming process in their respective countries.
The indicative activities of the NIP are:
- Organise the flow of information to potential applicants and partners from their own country (organising small-scale seminars, providing translated material from the programme web-site in their own national language, informing about the launch of calls for proposals, explaining among others rules and procedures);
- Liase with NIP from other countries in order to facilitate partner search;
- Keep a small-scale database at measure level of (potentially) interested parties.
