Finally, the representatives of the projects selected will be involved in seminars and networking events with the other Call for Proposals Participants and with representatives from the banking and financial system.

The work plan (meetings, intermediate goals, activities) will be drawn up with the coordinator of the Bank of Italy team, based on the specific needs of each project.
May I change the members of the project group during the support phase?
During the support phase, in agreement with the coordinator of the Bank of Italy team, changing the members of the project group can also be considered.
