Deliverables

Documents, reports (6)

Project Management Handbook

This report will consist of a guideline for ensuring the quality of the documents generated in the MAR2PROTECT project. The report will give a quick overview of the most relevant management aspects of the project, setting the rules and responsibilities of the partners aimed at ensuring a good quality and progress of the work. This report is the output of Task T1.1.

Report of M-AI-R DSS data architecture and data space technical specifications

This is the Public Version of the deliverable D4.1 classified as SENSITIVE.

Report of functionalized biomaterials

This is the Public Version of the deliverable D2.1 classified as SENSITIVE.

Report of the preliminary assessment of WP2 technology performances for upscale to TRL 5

This is the Public Version of the deliverable D2.3 classified as SENSITIVE.

Initial stakeholder analysis of the demo sites and EU stakeholder landscape & engagement strategy

D6.1 will be the first output of Task T6.1, presenting the results of the detailed stakeholder analysis at different scales (demo sites, EU landscape) and tailored engagement strategies per stakeholder group and purpose. It serves as input for the stakeholder engagement and upscaling activities in the continuation of T6.1 as well as tasks T6.2 and T6.3 and T6.5.

Report on the REACH Tool for GC and CC impacts on GW chemical status

This report will be the output of T4.2. It will show the results obtained by the REACH Tool, considering three functional approaches: physical (MOD-REACH; e.g., groundwater flow modelling for simulating the impacts of climate trends on GW chemical status), data-driven (DATA-REACH; past correlations between climate indices and GW quality variables to extrapolate into the future) and overlay-based models (GIS-REACH; vulnerability and risk mapping for different pollution types including spatial explanatory variables). This report serves as input for T4.6.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Communication plan and toolkit

This deliverable will include all communication procedures and tools (e.g. logo/Book of Style, communication materials templates, social networks, web site, promotional project video, etc...). D7.1 is an output of T7.1.

Data Management Plan (1)

Initial Data Management Plan

This report will establish how data will be managed during the project and after it is completed. This deliverable is the output of Task T1.3.
