Throughout the whole BUILD UP Skills Initiative, a number of EU Exchange Meetings have been organised to promote the European dimension of the programme and to foster exchange of ideas between the countries. Some of the challenges in the building sector are country specific but most are arguably common across many countries. The Exchange Meetings foster the exchange and transfer of the rich technical expertise and experience that exist within the national BUILD UP Skill Consortia.
