WP1 deals with the organisation of the 2-day ROADMAP Seminar in China to disseminate and demonstrate European digital map technologies and applications in China. A great number of Chinese decision-makers, end user organisations, research institutes and professional companies will be invited to the Seminar.
WP2 will analyse the political, technical, business and socio-economic feasibility of a wide application of European digital map technologies in China, based on desk research, on-site investigation and interviews with relevant Chinese authorities and other major players.
WP3 will establish and maintain ROADMAP Web Site to:
- Disseminate relevant information on and results of ROADMAP feasibility study;
- Provide information and advice to interested EU companies on market opportunities in China, particularly on Chinese policy, market development trends, legal and regulatory environment for doing business in the concerned field;
- Provide a platform for discussing and defining joint follow-up projects and the corresponding project consortia involving Chinese partners.
WP4 will assess and evaluate success and impacts of ROADMAP activities in two waves. The main activities of WP4 include:
- Defining assessment objectives;
- Defining the baseline case for assessment;
- Defining the measure of success (assessment indicators);
- Carrying out assessment and evaluation analysis and;
- Interaction with the Project Management.
WP5 deals with project management, including technical co-ordination and financial management of the project.
