... Scientific and practical results obtained through project implementation will be transferred in a usable format as recommendations to appropriate state and private institutions, organizations, and companies interested in or responsible for managing and mitigating natural hazards. Project implementation will facilitate establishment of a basis for further seismic risk reduction activities in the region and will promote close collaboration of scientists and policy makers in this field.
