Deliverables

Documents, reports (4)

Up-scaling process of liaison with authorities and policy makers of the demo-sites member state from local to national report

D1.3 will detail actions put in place to liaise with local authorities and policy makers to attract their attention about the demo-site mission within own state mission strategy, thus to maximise impact effects and related evaluation from local to national level.

Dissemination and Communication strategy report

D7.1 will define the process conceived to bring forward dissemination and communication activity within the project and beyond.

Setting-up of demo-sites network strategy report

D1.1 will summarise the agreed strategy for the demo site deployment, including involvement of local community and potential up-scale to national level.

Development collaborative actions with local stakeholders to design the demo-site evolution report

D1.2 will detail actions put in place to maximise relationship and involvement of local stakeholders through the acknowledgment of the RHE-MEDiation proposal and the collection of feedback to jointly design the potential evolution of demo-sites.
