Evaluation Interim Report Conclusions:• Target groups (until now) that are actively involved in the project are university

stakeholders not policy makers • Under condition that policy makers are more strongly involved in

implementation & dissemination activities the project may have a more strategic impact resulting in future activities of transferring good practices

Recommendations:• Use project website as a main tool for collaboration between partners• Upload all project output into website on time available for the public • Remaining KE outputs should provide guidelines for policy makers• Target groups should include policy makers & enterprises as well as academic

stakeholder• Develop tools for collecting information about the progress of the project

activities• Collaboration with other similar projects • Ensure sustainability of the project results
