WP1 – Project Management
Under WP1, coordinated by BUU, all project management tasks were fully implemented. Administrative, financial, and technical coordination ensured compliance with Horizon Europe rules, effective budget monitoring, and timely reporting. Quality assurance, risk management, ethics, and data management activities were systematically applied, providing a solid framework for the smooth implementation of the project.
WP2 – BUU Research Capacity Building
Under WP2, led by ATU, REMODEL strengthened BUU’s research capacity in innovative business models through targeted training in consumer behaviour, innovation, leadership, research management, and proposal writing, delivered by ATU and ULE. In parallel, the BUU Business Model Innovation (BMI) Lab was established and became fully operational.
WP3 – Twinning and Networking
Under WP3, led by ULE, twinning and networking activities strengthened long-term scientific collaboration among partners. A joint Strategic Research Agenda defined shared research priorities, while summer schools and staff exchanges enhanced research skills and hands-on collaboration. A long-term R&I cooperation strategy was developed to support continued collaboration beyond the project.
WP4 – Research in Innovative Business Models Leveraging the BMI Lab
Under WP4, led by BUU, REMODEL carried out its core scientific activities through the BMI Lab. A sector analysis informed the development of innovative business models, which were implemented in two rounds with a total of ten hospitality SMEs using an optimised BMI Lab methodology. Impact assessment mechanisms were applied to evaluate effects on SME operations.
WP5 – Dissemination, Exploitation, and Outreach
Under WP5, REMODEL ensured the structured dissemination, exploitation, and policy-oriented use of its results. A DEC framework guided activities, while exploitation focused on establishing a sustainable operational model for the BUU BMI Lab. Liaison and clustering activities supported integration with R&I ecosystems, and policy recommendations were developed to foster innovation adoption among hospitality SMEs.
