First dissemination and exploitation plan

The written (e.g. media partners, newsletters, academic and technical journals), online (social media, e-news and project website) onsite (e.g. conferences and workshops) dissemination channels will be mapped, to define their best use within ECOLOPES project. Full exploitation of the project results from both the economic and scientific perspective, with special reference to ECOLOPES key outputs, i.e. EIM Ontology and simulation environment. All potential exploitable assets and IP arising from the project will be identified and categorized according to their potential impact at commercial/academic research levels, including a detailed roadmap for addressing potential IP issues (e.g. property and IPR distribution among partners). This is the report for the first 12 months.

Final Dissemination/exploitation plan (DEP)

The written (e.g. media partners, newsletters, academic and technical journals), online (social media, e-news and project website) onsite (e.g. conferences and workshops) dissemination channels will be mapped, to define their best use within ECOLOPES project. Full exploitation of the project results from both the economic and scientific perspective, with special reference to ECOLOPES’ key outputs, i.e. EIM Ontology and simulation environment. All potential exploitable assets and IP arising from the project will be identified and categorized according to their potential impact at commercial/academic research levels, including a detailed roadmap for addressing potential IP issues (e.g. property and IPR distribution among partners).

First report on dissemination and communication activities

The report will summarize all dissemination and communication activities.

Second dissemination and exploitation plan

The written (e.g. media partners, newsletters, academic and technical journals), online (social media, e-news and project website) onsite (e.g. conferences and workshops) dissemination channels will be mapped, to define their best use within ECOLOPES project. Full exploitation of the project results from both the economic and scientific perspective, with special reference to ECOLOPES key outputs, i.e. EIM Ontology and simulation environment. All potential exploitable assets and IP arising from the project will be identified and categorized according to their potential impact at commercial/academic research levels, including a detailed roadmap for addressing potential IP issues (e.g. property and IPR distribution among partners).

Preliminary risk and quality assurance plan
Interim ECOLOPES platform architecture

Description of the Prototypes and applications and ECOLOPES frontend tools with standard open interfaces and the development process.

Report on the best design outcome for each site

The multifunctionality of the ecolope will be tested with empirical approaches, experiments and simulations. Design outcomes (WP6) will be evaluated considering all inhabitants in relation to ecosystem services provided and estimated maintenance needs, by way of Cost-Benefit approaches and in relation to the built context. Design outcomes will be analysed via ECOLOPES multicriteria approach. KPI (WP6) will be weighted and modified based on expert assessment

Second report on dissemination and communication activities

The report will summarize all dissemination and communication activities.

Prototype technical requirements report

Report about the technical requirements for the ECOLOPES system architecture, data warehousing infrastructure, the backend services, and the frontend tools.

Draft ECOLOPES platform architecture

Description of the draft prototypes and applications and ECOLOPES frontend tools with standard open interfaces. This includes tools based on the Rhino3D platform to visualize the simulated output of the ontology, and to apply it to a building, through 3D modelling and VR.

Final report on dissemination and communication activities

The report will summarize all dissemination and communication activities.

Development process for Ecolopes algorithmic tools

Outline of the development process for Ecolopes algorithmic tools and description of initial development of algorithmic tools.

Final reports

Duties include monitoring of compliance by participants with their obligations, responsibility for timely and accurate submission of all reports, financial claims, costs statements. On completion of the project, a final report to the EC will be prepared.
