Dissemination & Communication portfolio designed - first 18 month

Compilation of all dissemination & communication tools designed and activities performed during the first 18 months

First Questionnaire Evaluation Report

In order to develop appropriate support actions for stakeholders at different places on the value chain, questionnaires will be prepared to assess the stakeholder 7 public acceptance and to determine where lie opportunities to implement the VFAP and what are expected bottlenecks. This will help to develop the exploitation strategies.
