8.2. Research assistants at Patok for 2009 For the 2009 Project, training more students would further improve capacity‐building outcomes. To do this, the Project would have to pay each student a field‐allowance (Leke 1000 per day, about €8) and provide food and accommodation at Patoku (Food requires 1700 Leke per person/per day). It is important to include students from the other Albanian Universities, which could lead to the establishment of research projects in other coastal areas, such as Himare and Sarande in southern Albania. These could be staffed by HAS members and all abiding by the same research protocols.
