GOALS

Wider, specific and additional objectives

REFLESS TEMPUS Project is designed to meet a few very important objectives - not only for language studies, but for Serbia as a country and its successful integration into European Union. The project’s Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) chart is designed to show the project’s wider and specific objectives, indicators of progress, means of measuring them and assumptions and risks associated with each of them. Project outcomes and outputs are grouped in Work packages (WP) leading to the specific objective/s, and within each WP there are time-measured activities to be carried out in order for the achievement of expected results.
