How to Apply

Can we help you?

Networking

Glasu also has targets to meet and projects will need to be able to meet these targets, most of which address levels of participation; economic benefits and sustainability in its widest sense; the introduction of new products made locally to new markets; the setting up of new networks and services and the organisation of consultation and dissemination events.
