A way of strengthening the cooperation within ECTRI is developing personal contacts between researchers. A way of achieving it was the establishment of ’communities of practice’. This was explored in the field of economic evaluation in a 2-stage approach:
1. Exchange of information in a structured, but ad-hoc way
2. Establishment of a true ‘community of practice’.
The leader of the Task Force was DVS. The participants were CDV, CEDEX, DLR, DTU, INRETS, TNO, TØI, TTEF and VTI.
