The work of the project has been carried out in two yearly periods. During 2021 we have organised 21 events with more than 1260 participants and with more than 760 views of the event recordings after the project. Beside workshops we have organised 17 different feedback activities (focus groups, interviews, surveys, questionnaires, scale up program) with 490 participants. The database of AHA stakeholders was created by the end of 2021 we developed a database with 500 active stakeholders.The aim was to increase the number of our direct info receivers and eventually by the end of the project support the transition of the stakeholders to Futurium as the AHA community platform supported by EC (European Commission). During 2021 Consortium partners made more than 680 post in social media (FB, LinkedIn, Twitter), on webpage/subpages, campaigns, newsletters. Representatives of partners took part as speakers or contributors of 15 other event, workshop, conference, and meeting to attract wider public and introduce the IN-4-AHA project activities (open call, testing activity, scale up program, data management activities). During 2022 we have organised 24 different workshops and webinars, including the project's Final Conference. These events gathered more than 798 registrants for the webinars and workshops and more than 442 views of the events recordings, in addition the Final Conference reached more than 200 registered participants on-site and online and more than 330 views of the events on YouTube. In addition to the workshops and webinars we have organised and carried out 30 other activities and events to collect input and feedback, reaching more than 400 people. The database of IN-4-AHA finally reached 771 stakeholders. In December 2022 the database members were redirected towards the Futurium AHA platform.
The output dissemination was carried out through the 2022 and especially during the final months. Consortium partners have taken place as speakers or contributors in 26 events organised by other organisations all over the Europe to support the exploitation of the scale-up model and other tools and guidelines created.
Main activities were carried out through 7 work packages: stakeholder engagement through monthly webinars, workshops and think-thanks.
