5. 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
