Important organizational hints...
To support you in the organization of your event, we have collected some essential details:

 4 weeks before - Invite the local VIPs
•   Two weeks before at the latest; for example: dignitaries of the region, environmental organizations, professional organizations, farmers' organizations, committees of different associations, politicians of the region, schools, teachers. Schools and teachers should be addressed directly. Perhaps lessons can be combined with a visit to your event. (Educational material on the subject is available from C.A.R.M.E.N. or from the FNR.)

 •    Announcements of the Biomass Days by public institutions can support your efforts. Pointing out the fact that the use of biomass strengthens the economic power of the region may gain the attention of officials and contribute to the success of your efforts. Perhaps your city, town, or community council is already promoting efforts to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century and your activities support their programms. Please address officials three to four weeks before the Biomass Days.

2 weeks before - Inform and invite the local press
