The co-operation has to be continuously organized and had to be based on the partnership, friendship, tolerance, appreciation and positive experience of international scientific co-operation within the framework of DAAAM International during the last fiveteen years. The co-operation can use individual flexible project oriented forms, structures and aspects and support the young researchers' mobility as well. The practical co-operation will be project- based organized. The highest priority is given to the organization of long - term international cooperation projects focused on advanced technologies for balanced development and harmony between men, technology and nature. The network has to be platform for dissemination of relevant information and ideas, supporting international partnership an encouraging of cooperation initiatives.
