| Background Papers | |
| Last updated: on 3/12/08 | |
In order to provide a basis for discussions at EPRA meetings, the Secretariat as well as some members and speakers prepare working papers which are handed out to the participants before the meeting takes place. The Assembly of EPRA members decided (at its 13th meeting in Barcelona) to make some of these documents available in the public area of our site conditional upon the formal agreement of the authors. |
