This Deliverable will consist of a second and final version of the documentation protruding to the assessment framework that will define the methodologies, techniques and success parameters for assessing operation of TSLs and achievement of expected impacts they will have to the community. The development of the assessment framework focuses especially on the following points: (1) planning for possible difficulties in the regions’ transition processes; (2) defining a set of KPIs; analysing assessment methodologies for the TSL’s criterion assessments; (3) implementing methodologies; (4) reviewing and integrating results from the implementation phase and drawing useful conclusions on efficient operation of TSLs in the preselected regions of transition.

This Deliverable will include clear recommendations regarding the building of coalitions the empowering of vulnerable and marginalised groups and communities and the vision finding process for the TRANSFORMER Labs

D6.5 TRANSFORMER Exploitation Plan

This Deliverable will (1) assess the exploitation potential of the Super-Lab solutions, (2) identify strategic, operational, financial and legal bottlenecks that could influence market exploitation, (3) provide results, learnings and recommendations for overcoming them, and (4) propose strategies for scaling up and uptake. The dissemination of these results and key findings will be through all communication channels outlined: website, online media, partners and stakeholders, and a series of online conversation-led podcasts, each dedicated to one sub-part of the Exploitation Plan.

This Deliverable will document an internal process evaluation and experience exchange format (key stakeholder interviews & workshops) deriving lessons learned along the development phases of the TSL (see also task 4.1 for phases) analysing the context, barriers and framework conditions that influenced the set-up of the TSL and their cross-sectoral open innovation approach.

D2.3 Regional SWOT analyses as feasibility studies to be used as evidence-base in decision-making for roadmap construc-tion

This Deliverable will develop an appropriate mix of methods (e.g. focus groups, expert interviews, document analysis) to generate data about the Super-Labs and apply this methodology in tandem with the task partners. Following a harmonised approach that allows for interregional comparisons, this data will be integrated in the form of regional SWOT analyses and made available to the stakeholders in the four TRANSFORMER Super-Labs. Important aspects will be: risks and benefits of different solutions, financial feasibility, key transformation challenges, innovative potential, available strategies, potential networks, social implications (assessment of needs and preferences of those groups most affected and vulnerable, questions of social resistance), and aspects of diversity (including gender).

D5.3 Best practices and recommendations for Super-Labs opera-tion towards the region transition

This Deliverable will document best practices and recommendations for the Super-Labs operation working towards the regions transition to climate neutrality. The recommendations will be based on the impact evaluation undertaken as part of Task 5.2, focusing on the achievement of the specific needs of the regions that will be examined using KPIs and techniques of the assessment framework. Special attention will be paid to (1) the improvement of the operational readiness of the pilot actions and (2) the level of fulfilment of the regional needs and priorities through pilot outcomes. Best practice cases will be presented as examples for future TSLs.

D2.2 Quantitative mapping research report

This Deliverable will include a mapping of EU regions and identify those that would benefit the most from the TRANSFORMER SuperLab approach which focuses especially on innovationleverage points at the intersection of sociotechnical regimes in regions
