After the TPM1, the consortium started working hard on the activities of the first Intellectual Output. After providing feedback on the template concerning the collection of good practices at national level, partners are now working on filling in this template by the best examples they can find. Once the good practices are found, national and comparative reports will be developed in order to demonstrate the current situation and needs in each partner country. The following activity of IO1 is the creation of the MENTORme Handbook in which all partners will work together for its development.
