The deliverable will include:Project's website including the following sections: home, project summary, ELGO-ITAP and Twinning partner profiles, news & events (e.g. forthcoming workshops), training videos, newsletters, links and downloads, and a repository platform dedicated to QMEA models and data-sets;Project leaflet (2 pages, A4 size), poster and PowerPoint presentation providing overview of the project.

Promotion material about ELGO-ITAP & Project’s newsletters

The deliverable, with intermediate updates at months 6, 12, 18, 24 & 30, will include:Promotion material about ELGO-ITAP;Project’s newsletters.

Documents, reports (5)

Mid-Term Progress Report

A Mid-Term Progress Report will be produced to be the basis for the interim review meeting.

Final report on DEC Plan

The Final report on DEC Plan will include:Project news distribution through broader scientific news channels e.g. Cordis wire, Alpha Galileo, LinkedIn interest groups, and a maintained project mailing list;Publications of conference/research papers on results arising from the staff exchanges and joined research project;Promotion actions during relevant European scientific events;Outreach activities through press conferences, regional and national news media (radio, TV and print newspapers).

Career development plan of participating young researchers

Career development plan of participating young researchers, with one intermediate update at M12. The report will include the mobility outcomes of young scientists through STSEs and the relevant training material from STEVs.

Seminars organized at the ELGO-ITAP, training performed at CU and UdL and workshops at CU and ELGO-ITAP

The present deliverable will include a report on:Seminars organized at ELGO-ITAP premises by experts of NKUA (Seminar 2 - S2) and of CU, UdL and NKUA (Seminar 4 - S4);Workshops organized at CU (Workshop 3 - WS3) and at ELGO-ITAP (Workshop 4 - WS4); Training of ELGO-ITAP personnel performed at CU and UdL through STSEs.

Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication Plan

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

Decision Support System (DSS) based on algorithms

A Decision Support System (DSS) based on algorithms to support the relevant to mycotoxins QMEA will be provided by CU and NKUA.

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

A formal Data Management Plan with updates at M6, M17 and M36, will be drawn up, maintained and implemented. The DMP will outline the type of data generated during research: metadata, standards and quality assurance measures; plans for sharing data; copyright and intellectual property rights of data; data storage and back-up measures; data management roles and responsibilities. In addition, any technical risks will be identified and planned mitigation measures will be in place to deal with such issues.
