WP6: Coordination, Dissemination, and Outreach
Lead Partner: NILU
Objectives: This WP aims to address SO6 by developing communication, dissemination and exploitation strategies and managing communication and dissemination activities. Top level project management will also occur within this WP to ensure that the GREENGROCER objectives are efficiently met, on time, and with the resources budgeted. This WP will act as the liaison between the project consortium, the EC, and the project officer.

Tasks
T6.1: Management of financial legal and administrative requirements
Lead: NILU (9PM).
Effort by contributors: NILUAB (2PM), UOY (2PM), ETHZ (1PM), GLOBE (1PM), SEI (1PM), UOXF (1PM), ARBO (1PM), COOL (1PM), CLIMCO (1PM), ULAT (1PM), BUW (1PM), DDS (1PM), ZHAW (1PM), ULEI (0.5PM), INTEC (0.5PM). Timing: M1-49. In this task we will manage and coordinate all financial and administrative activities in the project, including monitoring and maintaining the overall adherence to the financial budgets. T1.1 will deliver a project toolbox to ensure a smooth communication and cooperation between the project partners. This task will forward the EU contribution according to the work plan, the Consortium Agreement and the decisions made by the consortium. The administrative and financial monitoring of the project will be done by the project coordinator in cooperation with the Project Management Board (coordinator and WP leaders).
T6.2: Technical project management and coordination
Lead: NILU (9PM).
Effort by contributors: UOY (1PM), ETHZ (1PM), UOXF (1PM), INTEC (0.5PM). Timing: M1-49. In this task, we will perform technical project management and coordination of the consortium. NILU will oversee that deliverables, milestones and tasks are complemented on time and submitted in accordance with the contractual obligations. To monitor progress and quality a management system will be set up. In the first 6 months of the project, NILU will work with project partners to implement an effective and agile management system detailing different roles and responsibilities for each task and subtask. The project management board, consisting of coordinator and work package leads will meet frequently to oversee implementation, internal coherence and information flow. We will keep a continuous risk register and associated mitigation strategies, updated by task leaders along the project duration, to inform the management board of potential challenges in implementation.
T6.3: Outreach communication dissemination and clustering
Lead: NILU (9PM).
Effort by contributors: UOY (3PM), GLOBE (2PM), ETHZ (1PM), UOXF (1PM), ARBO (1PM), ZHAW (1PM), ULEI (0.5PM), INTEC (0.5PM). Timing: M1-49. In this task, we will manage activities related to outreach, communication and dissemination. We will develop and regularly update a communication and dissemination plan that will identify effective communication and dissemination activities and guide partners in WP1-5 to implement these. We will develop a visual identity and project website, and manage and update the various communication channels (website and social media accounts). We will create a log of events to guide partners in communication activities. We will support WP5 with the stakeholder workshops. Further, the task will stimulate knowledge sharing activities such as training and webinars across the consortium. Lastly, the task will actively seek to link with other cluster EU HE activities.
This task is linked to the following milestones: MS6.1 (M4).
T6.4: Exploitation strategies and business cases
Lead: NILU (9PM).
Effort by contributors: UOY (2PM), ULEI (1PM), SEI (1PM), UOXF (1PM), ZHAW (1PM), INTEC (0.5PM). Timing: M1-49. GREENGROCER has a distinct set of exploitable outcomes. In this task, we will develop the initial exploitation routes for data products, tools, methodologies, and standardisation activities. Starting out from key exploitation routes, we will develop business model canvases for each of the GREENGROCER outcomes, starting by identifying target markets (e.g. science to science, science to business, B2B or B2C), value propositions, and potential value capture models (e.g. freemium, SaaS -models). For data products developed under an open source licence, this task has clear links with the Data management and open science practices (T6.5) and communication and dissemination strategies. Contributes to:
D6.2 (M9), D6.7 (M46).
T6.5: Data Management and Open Science
Lead: NILU (8PM).
Effort by contributors: UOY (4PM), ULEI (2PM). Timing: M1-49. In this task, we prepare an overarching data management plan (DMP) for the project. We will solicit guidance from the experienced University of York Library Open Science team if required. The DMP will be developed in compliance with the EC guidelines on data management in Horizon Europe projects (cf. section 2.2). The DMP will be updated periodically. Contributes to:
D6.1 (M6), D6.5 (M24), D6.6 (M48).
T6.6: Gender and ethics dimensions
Lead: NILU (8PM).
Effort by contributors: NILUAB (2PM). Timing: M1-7. The objective of this task is to ensure that relevant ethical principles, including research ethics, gender issues, and RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation) are addressed in the execution of GREENGROCER. It will review data management for privacy issues and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation where relevant, review the methodological setup of models which could have a gender or ethics dimension, including the proposed AI model under Task 2.4 and facilitate the education of the project consortium in elements such as ethical impact assessment and responsible research and innovation. Ethics workshop will support the development of understanding and inclusion of ethics aspects in the project. This task links in particular to WP2, WP3, and WP5. Contributes to:
D6.3 (M6).
