EPPN WGs exploitation and clustering strategy

"Deliverable initially planned for month 20 and updated for month 36. The Working Groups have been initially planned around 4 main operational areas: • Technical collaboration including the digital platform, the pilot facilities and the (SME) users. • Market and finance intelligence, providing information and guidance to the hubs operations and user cases. • Training and dissemination, facilitating and organising training activities by using resources available within the beneficiaries and other (EC) funded services. • Policy and regions, focussing mainly on contacts to regional decision makers and innovation offices that can help formalising the regional hubs. During the implementation phase, the number of Working Groups has been reduced to 3: • WG #1 - Technical collaboration Training Dissemination • WG #2 - Finance and Market • WG #3 - Policy & Regions During the mid-term review meeting in January 2019 it has been suggested, discussed and agreed that it would be better to have the deliverable related to WG at the end of the project (M36). This deliverable will capture structure and all activities of the WG and should be expanded beyond only exploitation and strategy. Text of the D4.1 submitted at original M20 deadline has provided only results from the initial survey and first WG meeting and it should be considered only as a preliminary draft. Further information related to communication with the WG and discussion about their feedback will follow and will be included in the final deliverable (M36). "
