The overall performance of the project will be underpinned by the project management and coordination activities, which are structured in the following work packages (WPs):

• WP1: Awareness raising rally
• WP2: Conference on researchers' career in Bulgaria
• WP3: Survey and dissemination
• WP4: Management and control

The project duration will be 6 months, whereas two logical phases will be followed :

• Promotional phase (WP3), which spans the whole project period and beyond it.
• Awareness raising phase (WP1-2)

The Promotional phase will focus on three main activities. First, in will include a wide promotion on the Internet and in the printed media of the regional and national events dedicated to the profession of researchers. Second, during this phase will start the regular (monthly) TV transmission on Nova Televisia related to researchers – their activities and career paths. Third, within this phase will be elaborated the methodology and carried out the survey on the state-of-the-art of the researchers' profession.

The major part of the working activities of the REKS project will be completed during the Awareness-raising phase . It includes the time for preparation of awareness-raising rally and final conference, and their actual realisation. This phase will be also the culmination of all activities of the promotional phase, e.g. the dissemination of the survey results and the concluding part of the TV transmissions on Nova Televisia.

The project implementation will concentrate on the following groups of activities :

• Awareness-raising rally – will be carried out within one week and will consist of four regional seminars in Rousse, Varna, Stara Zagora and Plovdiv dedicated to the researchers' profession.
• National conference – will take place in Sofia at the end of the project.
• Survey on the state-of-the-art in the researchers' profession will be conducted during the REKS project and the results will be presented at the final conference.
• TV broadcasting – the TV production ‘Hi Tech' on Nova Televisia will integrate 6 TV transmissions – one every month during the ‘Researchers in Europe Initiative'.
• Dissemination – will be used on-line and off-line channels for dissemination and reaching a wider audience in Bulgaria.
