I know AMIRES since its beginning and I was working with AMIRES on several occasions in the past. My most recent cooperation is very close, since AMIRES is responsible for the administrative management of a major EU project that I am coordinating.

This allowed me to leave the management of the project entirely to AMIRES and to focus myself exclusively on the technical aspects of project coordination.
In all my interactions with AMIRES, I was always able to count on very motivated partners and a constructive and pleasant cooperation. I could not imagine a better partner for future opportunities.
