management, installation, etc.) and 19

local branches.

• Could be an intellectual centre and would

deal with different questions of the

EUSDR.

• The HCE role could be to make the

regions more competitive, bringing the key

sectors or branches together to enhance

development.

The challenge of the EUSDR for the HCE

could be to find the actions and projects

which will enhance the development of the

region in a sustainable way.

Possible role of the HCE:

Project proposals, Representation of

interest, Information, Partner coordination,

Action, Campaign, Programme.
