Within TRIALOG, a body of valuable experience has been established since the start of the first project phase in 2000, in terms of development CSO platform building, European integration and capacity building. TRIALOG now wants to capture this knowledge and make it available for others, especially those going through similar processes in the future.
In order to grasp the vast experience TRIALOG chose a participative method which has already been successfully implemented by the Austrian lead agency HORIZONT3000 and its member organisations in the Global South: Systematisation. 
The process of systematisation involves people who participated in the project over the years.
In a first step, a framework which defines the main subjects for the TRIALOG systematisation was elaborated with various stakeholders. Now the process is at the stage of retrieving the history and the context of the project throughout the 12 years. Therefore TRIALOG invited key people from platforms in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, as well as stakeholders from Austria and Germany, to the workshop “Telling the History of TRIALOG” from 4-5 of April 2013 in Vienna. Systematisation lives from the memories and a critical review of people who were involved in a project. The meeting provided a space to reflect about the history of national NGDO platforms in the enlarged EU, how they developed, how they joined European processes and on the support of TRIALOG.
In a next step, the TRIALOG team will write down the history of the project. Later this year key elements will be analysed in a separate workshop. In the end of the process the results will be shared in a publication.
