The region covered is South West Germany, the German-speaking part of Switzerland and Thuringia. Since the new contract-period of the IRC Network (April 2000) SEZ is one of now eight existing Innovation Relay Centres in Germany and is head of the consortium of Innovation Relay Centre of D/CH. In the period 1995 - 1999 SEZ was consortium leader for the IRC, which also covered Bavaria, but not Switzerland. SEZ operated as a successful Value-Relay-Centre. According to the Commissions' evaluation it was in the group of the 10 best Value-Relay-Centres in Europe. It was therefore chosen again by the Commission in 1995 and was given the status of Innovation Relay Centre (IRC). |
