Leistungen

Documents, reports (8)

Community engagement, commun. and dissem. strategy

Outline of a community engagement, communication and dissemination strategy for an integrated strategy to produce long-term impacts of the INSPIRE targets. Deliverable based on T6.1

Report on feedback loop including impact pathways generated by measures for prevention

Report on creation of feedback loop in order to allow progressive insights. An assessment will take place both before and after implementing the measures, enabling innovation providers to validate their solutions and improve effectiveness by means of optimisation, which will be adjusted based on the specifics of each case.Assessment will also have to consider various parameters to measure efficiency: power consumption, required maintenance time, and required operator time. Deliverable based on T4.1

Plan to implement the technical coordination of INSPIRE

The plan covers the work plan tasks to implement the project and to allow progress monitoring. It also covers the measures taken for deviations from the initial work plan and how this affects the overall work plan, budget, etc…

Open call documents kit & third-party financing rules

Open call description & tender for an effective, transparent, objective and fair procedure in selecting the local stakeholders from Associated Regions (AR) and managing the Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP). Deliverable based on T5.3

Plan to implement actions for Coordination of INSPIRE

The plan covers the different actions, development of tools and reporting templates, timing plan for consortium meetings, etc… .

Monitoring and analysis protocols

Description: Protocols for effective monitoring at the demo sites will be developed and will comprise of sampling site selection, sampling techniques, analytical protocols and quality assurance.

Development of retention efficiency protocols

Description: Description of protocols to be used to objectively assess the retention efficiency of plastic removal technologies.

Performance indicators

Introduction to the quantitative performance indicators used to monitor the community engagement, communication and dissemination strategy. Deliverable based on T6.1

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (2)

Project website

The kit contains a digital flyer, sustainable gadgets, project presentation press release, ppt and video (call-to action video and final video of the project).

Data Management Plan (1)

Data Management Plan

The data Management Plan covers the plan on how to manage data from data collection, over data storage, data handling, data analysis and data sharing, including the technical actions to be taken to realize the data management plan. The DMP also describes the FAIR principles and data protection measures to be implemented.
