The ACO*HUM pages will cross-link to this site.

Leaflet and Guide

M. Toscano is going to complete the leaflet and A. Hurskainen will prepare the first draft of the guide.

Future implementations

In order to sensitize academic and administrative authorities in each partner university, it was decided that the core group would prepare an information package containing the history of the Cameel project, the draft of the study guide, the leaflet, the proposal for study modules, a draft of the application form for students, a draft of the certificate. So as to finalize that information package, the core group will meet on 24-26 May 1998 in Naples.
