- Through Internet search and >40 (mainly unique) interviews the knowledge deriving from >60 past and ongoing coordination and support actions (CSAs) and similar activities in other projects (such as research and innovation actions - RIAs or Interreg projects) was mapped and synthesised in (a) a report and (b) in 11 topical factsheets.
- For 11 topical categories gaps in research programming vis-à-vis the corresponding objectives and measures in BS and SIRA were identified through desk research, interviews with project representatives and stakeholder feedback collected at the 2019 BBI JU Stakeholder Forum. The results were detailed in (a) a report and (b) in updated versions of the 11 topical factsheets.

- A set of recommendations and suggestions for new CSA projects topics was produced
Dissemination
- 2 Newsletters were designed and issued in 27th April 2020 and 30th April 2020
- Social networks
The social media networks for LIFT are Twitter and LinkedIn. They were set up and seen as being the best channels based on the amount of interesting information that can be shared. It is considered a bad practice to have social networks with low content and not-regular updates. Therefore, these social networks were created in July 2019. An overview of the analytics and performance of these social networks are presented next (until April 2020).
