Deliverables

Documents, reports (4)

Data management plan

Data management plan will describe a Quality Management System (QMS) to be applied in BLADES2BUILD. This deliverable will guarantee that data will respond to the FAIR principles established by the EU.

Dissemination Kit

This deliverable consists of a dissemination Kit containing Blades2Build information for stakeholders, members of the UB and AB, among others.

Plan for the Exploitation & Dissemination of Results (PEDR)

After M6, a full plan for the Exploitation & Dissemination of Results (PEDR) will be developed between GCS and all the Blades2Build partners. Contribute, upon invitation by the CINEA, to common information and dissemination activities to increase the visibility and synergies between Horizon Europe supported actions.

R&D report on Laboratory developments of the best recycling methods to produce high-quality recyclates from EOL composite materials for the GO/NO-GO decision

After testing in the Laboratory the recycling methods to produce high-quality recyclates from EOL composite materials, we will describe here the best ones to be upgraded for the GO/NO-GO decision

Other (1)

Computational model for prediction of post-repair lifetime of WTB

This task will build on the previous one to develop a computational model to predict how the blade repair will be carried out. This will result in a publicly available model to predict of post-repair lifetime of WTB.
