The plan to achieve these objectives was defined in agreement between Dr. Stokic and representatives of SZTAKI Prof. Kovács and Mr. Haidegger (see Appendix).
The work was carried out to a large extent according to this plan:
Dr Stokic got acquainted with the technical environment at SZTAKI and with the help of (junior) employees of CIM Research Laboratory has used it for his work
Using written material (reports, publication, etc.) provided by the host and based on discussions with Dr. Peter Inzelt, Director of SZTAKI, Prof. Kovács and Mr. Haidegger and other researchers at the Laboratory, Dr Stokic learnt about the organisational structure, current research topics and the projects running at SZTAKI, specifically on themes and projects addressed by the CIM Research Laboratory.
He learnt about the local/national solutions, requirements, and specific needs based on discussions with experts at SZTAKI, as well as based on direct contacts and discussions with experts from several Hungarian companies: LANEX, RADAINT, INDUSTRIEPLAN etc.
On 23. August, 2001 Dr Stokic made an initial presentation on the expertise and research themes, specifically on knowledge management, Internet based solutions for tele-working and on SW engineering themes.
Several discussions on common research subjects with experts at SZTAKI were carried out, and based on these discussions, a set of common research themes and specific projects were defined.
The common proposals to be prepared for submission to the EU under the 5th and the following, 6th Framework Programme were elaborated where Dr. Stokic played an active role in contacting the Hungarian industrial partners and defining their interest and roles in the future projects.
Dr Stokic particularly got acquainted with the SZTAKI’s current EU project XPERTS by participating in the general meeting and visit to the Hungarian industrial partner MECOF.
Discussions on possible common publications within the common RTD activities were carried out.
The ideas for future co-operation were discussed with several experts from SZTAKI.
The strategy to help in the dissemination of the results of different projects was elaborated as well.
On 2. October, 2001 a short presentation of the results of common work during the visit and discussion on the plans for future co-operation was made.
