Deliverables

Documents, reports (6)

Framework for the systematic degradation assessment of UCH

The current deliverable will constitute a methodological (rules and practises design) attempt for UCH deterioration assessment, based on Task2.4 advances.

Dissemination material and project web presence

The current deliverable is linked to Task6.1 activities, focusing on dissemination and communication material preparation (leaflets, brochures, banners, logos, etc.) and web presence pages.

Technical and Business Requirements

Stemming from the activities foreseen in Task2.2 and Task2.3, this report details the technical and business requirements definition, based on NERITES foreseen conceptual solution.

Pilot surveys and use case scenarios definition

The current report leverages the developments foreseen under Task2.1 towards the definition of the appropriate KPIs, corresponding test scenarios – aligning to the detailed particularities of each specific UCH pilot - for evaluating the performance of NERITES solution

NERITES replication and assessment protocols’ innovations

Based on Task6.4, this report will focus on replication guidelines definition and innovativeUCH deterioration assessment protocols, for policy-makers and strengthened post-project sustainability. (+ M36)

Dissemination and communication plan

Report on the strategy, the key factors and the focus of the targeted audience as well as the implementation plan for the immersive dissemination and communication of the project, based on Task6.1 efforts.
