Deliverables
The deliverable concerns updating and enhancing the available case studies and country profiles already available to BENEFIT. The existing cases and country profiles are duly published and will be always referenced appropriately if used. The existing set of country profiles and cases will be streamlined (OMEGA Centre cases transferred to COST Action TU1001 format). Case studies will be reviewed and selected and for those that are of interest, Country Profiles will be updated and enriched with possible additional information. The collection will be enhanced by at least 28 case studies with respect to funding and financing schemes (public and other) and transport modes less represented in the existing cases. To this end, all partners are involved in this task, as they will be required to deliver at least two additional case studies each. This deliverable, to be produced also as an e-book with ISBN, will feed the BENEFIT wiki. The deliverable will include in annex the written consensus of possible interviewees. This is the deliverable of Task 2.1.
Policy DialoguesThe deliverable consisting of: (i) part 1 reporting on the policy dialogue conducted on M10 with the Advisory group and selected members of the consultation group, and (ii) part 2 reporting on the policy dialogue conducted on M17 with a wider audience, organised at the TRA 2016. There is no specific budget attached to this deliverable as it takes advantage of the Consortium meeting (M10) and the TRA 2016 Workshop (M17). This is the deliverable of task 5.2.
The Decision Matching Framework Policy Guiding Tool, Project Rating Methodology and Methodological Framework to increase business model creditworthinessThe deliverable concludes: (i) The Decision Matching Framework. It concerns the operational version of deliverable D3.1 after it has been applied, tested and revised based on its application to task 4.1 – stage 2. (ii) The methodology by which the transport business model and overall project may be rated and means by which creditworthiness may be enhanced, therefore enabling the respective financing type. This is the deliverable of task 3.2.
Lessons Learned – 2nd Stage AnalysisThe deliverable concerns the report of the analysis of the BENEFIT case study database using the methodological framework devised in WP3.

Input to the report will be provided as follows: Road: UAEGEAN, FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON; Rail: OULUN YLIOPISTO; Air: IST; Ports/MoS: UNIVERSIDAID DE LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA; Urban Transit: CEREMA; Special Infrastructure (bridges, locks, Terminals): IBDIM, UANTWERP, KIT; Infrastructure pricing: TISPT; Implementation context: UANTWERP This is one of the two deliverables of Task 4.1.
Dissemination & Exploitation PlanDeliverable 6.2 concerns the detailed plan for dissemination and interaction. It will be prepared by the 1st Consortium meeting so that the project can start with a clear dissemination strategy. The plan will be updated Mid-Term (M12) and at the project end (M21) – The Mid-Term and Final Dissemination Plan will form part of the project mid-term and final report.
Risk Management & Innovation Management PlanCentral to the successful completion of any project is the effective assessment, monitoring and mitigation or amplification of downside risks or opportunities, respectively. The Risk Management and Innovation Plan will include the initial assessment of risks and opportunities and a detailed monitoring process including respective contingency and exploitation plans as well as all critical dates. It will be prepared by M2 and adopted at the first BENEFIT consortium meeting. Thereafter, it will be used by the project coordinator, the WP and Task leaders. The Plan will also indicate revision dates. This is the deliverable of task 1.3.
Data Management PlanThe deliverable concerns the Data Management Plan (DMP). This will detail the data and results generated and define (shared) joint ownership and whether and how this will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be preserved. The DMP will be delivered by the 1st Consortium meeting, approved and duly signed within the first 3 months of the project. The DMP will be reviewed and updated at least by the mid-term and final review to fine-tune it to the data generated and the uses identified by the consortium. New versions of the DMP will be created whenever important changes to the project are foreseen to occur. The DMP will define the terms and procedures for commercialization and dissemination of results of joint ownership. This is the deliverable of WP6.
Quality Assurance PlanInternal quality assurance of all deliverables will be carried out prior to submission to the Commission. The Quality Assurance Plan produced by M2 and approved at the 1st Consortium meeting sets the detailed procedures of Quality control; review procedures and forms; deliverable format and other related issues to be applied to all project deliverbles there after. This is the deliverable of task 1.2.

Review of Financing Schemes & TypologyThe deliverable is the credit worthiness requirement of each financing scheme mapped generating the 5th typology. This objective is addressed through desk research (meta-analysis) and evidence research based on the BENEFIT database. It reports on the study of: (i) Government credit or equity (KIT); (ii) Private credits or equity from strategic investors. Strategic investors are defined as having a long-term interest in running the project and influencing strategic decisions about it (UAEGEAN, TRT); (iii) Private capital from conventional institutional investors or the public. The former group refers to investment banks, regular banks or other portfolio investors like pension funds or hedge funds (interest in the short or middle term yield and risk characteristics of their investment) (UAEGEAN, TRT) (iv) Specialized institutions for infrastructure investments. These are public (eg. the European Investment Bank (EIB)) and global infrastructure funds (eg. Macquary) (KIT, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING). This is the deliverable of Task 2.3

Typologies of Funding Schemes and Implementation Context Typologies, Transport Mode Context Typologies, Business ModelThis deliverable concerns a synthesis report with respect to findings of potential typologies identified with respect to: (i) Business models to be provided by UAEGEAN and UNIVERSITEIT TWENTE; (ii) Funding Schemes to be provided by TISPT; (iii) Transport mode context to be provided by UANTWERP and (iv) Implementation context to be provided by UANTWERP, IBDIM and UCLAN. This is the deliverable of Task 2.2.
Methodological Framework of Ex-Post AnalysisThe deliverable is a framework of principal hypotheses – matching principles- by which best matches may be achieved and thus optimum performance of the funding and financing schemes for the particular business model under the implementation and transport mode context in the defined governance arrangement. Its concerns a report of the matching principles identified using the risk profiles of the types and typologies produced in WP2. These are proposed based on their contribution to designed performance in terms of sustainability (economic, environmental, social and institutional). This is the deliverable of Task 3.1.
Lessons Learned – 1st Stage AnalysisThe deliverable concerns the report on the analysis of the BENEFIT case study database including findings obtained from interviews. It will report on: (i) Best practices and successful cases (ii) The reasons why a project should be regarded as good/bad practice.
