9. PROMOTION OF SCIENCE
SEENET-MTP web portal became one of the most popular source of information concerning
MTP in our region

10. WHAT SEENET COULD CONNECT ?
• The science, education and culture from Southeastern EU countries
through UNESCO
• The Physicists from Southeastern European Countries with Europe
through ICTP and EPS
• The Physicists from Balkans
through Balkan Physics Union
LET’S HOPE AND WORK ON THAT !
