Throughout its pilot operation and start-up phase (July 2019 – June 2022) the TS will be hosted, managed and staffed by Pro Danube International. As part of the DAPhNE Project’s ongoing activities, the DPN’s work undertaken throughout its pilot operation phase (July 2018 – June 2019) is financially supported by the DAPhNE project. The DPN is expected to become financially and operationally self-sustaining as of June 2022.
