Expertise, knowledge, case studies, ideas and points of view of the different local stakeholders and managers provided the contents for feeding both the peer learning workshops and the local workshops case studies (through local workshops and meetings) as well as the contents of the DOP resulting from them. Direct involvement of local stakeholders was a basic component of the Go SIV project scheme.
The structure of the project takes into consideration three working environments:
1) The international peer learning workshops, by which the partners were be able to meet, exchange their knowledge and expertise, provide mutual master classes on specific topics and work together. During the meetings, partners discussed outcomes of the peer learning and the case studies and tried out the contents of the DOP, which is be the main deliverable of the project. After the third International Peer Learning workshop, partners prepared the final release of the DOP.
2) The regional case studies published, by which the partners were able to work on a specific local pilot areas for the application of the concepts of “Smart Industrial Village” approach.
3) Activities in pilot areas - each partner worked with a specific local industrial area or a specific local context including different industrial urban areas to be renovated. The measures were intended for renovation of the area and also for including new industrial and crafts activities, cultural and/or artistic activities, developing commercial and recreational functionalities of the area, optimizing mobility and means of public transport, etc. Focus groups and/or local meetings enabled discussion and learning by doing about the possible design options for the local initiative and the renovation of the area as a means for building an effective innovation ecosystem, and for specific local innovation support services.
As a result of the work of all partners, three case studies, Delivery Option Paper presenting the development model for SIV and tools to support the process of creation, regional workshops were produced within the project Go SIV. The event and achievements of the project are also documented on the project website www.gosiv.eu. Through the website the documents describing the results of the work will be available.
The project results are disseminated through the direct contacts with the stakeholders and interested third parties, presentations on various meetings, the presentation during the international event in Brussels within the European Week of Regions and Cities, through the social media used by project partners and on their internet websites. Additionally, the information about the DOP will be disseminated by EURADA among the members and other stakeholders. Partners also communicate the availability of DOP to the stakeholders and will encourage them to further dissemination of the results - this is done by the direct personal contacts, emails, websites and social media. Dissemination and communication activities are going to be continued among stakeholders.
