Pendik Municipality is the coordinator of  Connect with ICT  from now on. When the first results of Grants Applicants releassed  by Turkish National Agency, Pendik Municipality was in reserved list. Therefore Cyprus overtook the coordinator’s position but later  Pendik Municipality was taken into the active list  and became coordinator again.

They discussed the period  since the meeting in Cyprus and talked about the tasks shared among the partners and the current situations of them since then.
