- Collect useful theoretical studies that we can all benefit from (18. 3. 2011)
- Collect NREN social media cases (18. 3. 2011) - (21-25. 3. 2011 joint video conference)
- Create general Social media strategy for NREN - facilitated by VC discussion if necessary
- Create detailed strategy for each social media - FB, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube ... - facilitated by VC discussion if necessary
- Start working, share what works and what doesn't work as we progress
