WP 5 Living Labs, Exploitation & Dissemination Challenges Task 5.1: Balance limited resources (budget and working hours) to meet the ambition of following up the living labs; How to make the inputs of each WP match the needs of living lab cities; Co-organize two partner meeting with ULL activities in Jingdezhen and Wuhan, and make timelines for activities in between the partner meetings Task 5.2: China: The proposed diversification of demand for cities does not necessarily coincide with the intentional European cities and requires precise docking For projects that have already been agreed or started, project parties are concerned about the actual promotion role of the platform Europe: Lack of any resources for European cities – difficult to commit cities Market the project as something more than a RIA – build suitable messages Task 5.3: Timing of TRANS-URBAN contributions; most contributions will come when the knowledge base has been established, in year 2, which will be the final year of URBAN-EU-CHINA Task 5.4: Connect to the key (concurrent) initiatives and projects that can benefit from and contribute to the Knowledge Base and the ULL WP 5 Living Labs, Exploitation & Dissemination
