The training modules of all 85 events are available at http://www.h2020.net/en/resources/training-materials.html while three distance learning modules are being developed and will be available on the h2020.net site in early 2013.

Already, some significant de-pollution achievements in the region can be attributed to the Horizon 2020 Initiative and the capacity building component specifically. A short survey is currently being prepared by CB/MEP so as to facilitate the H2020 Focal Points as well as other stakeholders that have benefited from the training to identify the direct and indirect impacts that these capacity building activities have catalyzed so far in their countries.
