Discussions also focused on the following issues: the training required by researchers and professionals to ease their entry into the labour market; collaborative actions in the area UPV/EHU educational activities; efforts in progress to intensify collaborative actions between different groups at UPV/EHU; the space reserved at Tekniker for the UPV/EHU Classroom; joint outreach activities aimed at society and internal training actions involving both organisations.

As regards the future, the ultimate goal is to give continuity to these activities that started in 2008.
