EU-Balkan-FABNET understands the importance of networking in the effort for an improved participation of researchers from the Western Balkans in FP7 projects. To that end, the various information multipliers established and operating in the Western Balkans can significantly facilitate the  involvement of individual participants in FP7 projects. The partners have compiled a list of such multipliers, which is available here:

• List of information multipliers in the Western Balkans 

In addition to encouraging interaction with multipliers, EU-Balkan-FABNET also understands the need for networking of the researchers themselves.
