Dear Dr. Bertolo
As you know, the project IA-SFS for which you are the scientific coordinator, is one of the Selected 40 "success stories" of the 6th Framework Program to be included in a publication edited by the European Commission.
This booklet is going to be translated in four languages and largely distributed to the general public, National & Regional authorities, European Parliament, Delegations and Representation of the European Union all over the world.
