|  The SIBIS partners have set up an external 
        Advisory Group of Experts (AGE). This group consists of high level professionals 
        which supported the SIBIS project with their expertise and experience 
        with regard to the SIBIS topic areas, to methodological questions and 
        to related initiatives and projects.  AGE was the second level of quality control 
        within SIBIS. The review of (interim) results and provision of comments 
        to report drafts was only one of the tasks of AGE. The group also provided 
        guidance on methodological issues and acts as multiplier for disseminating 
        and transferring SIBIS' results into practice.    |
