Okres sprawozdawczy: 2016-05-01 do 2017-10-31
• development of the IMPACT Theoretical Framework;

During the second Reporting Period of the IMPACT CSA, management and coordination activities were central to ensure a continuous mutual understanding and a fruitful information exchange among the partners, monitor the agreed quality standards and ethical procedures, support and exploit the interactions with the ESG, mantain the tools and templates for internal project collaboration and carry out all the formal communication and reporting with the European Commission.
In RP2 main IMPACT CSA Supporting Measures have designed, developed and validated with end-users and ESG members and have been disseminated and presented to a broader audience of potential stakeholders thanks to Coordination Activities.
Project results were widely disseminated within scientific community and specialised audiences through the participation to relevant events and conferences in the field. As reported in D7.3 14 papers on the project results were submitted and presented within these events. Indeed, Project partners, especially those from academia and universities, attended a remarkable number of conferences being able to present, disseminate and promote project achievements and main findings.
The main exploitable results and the opportunity for the multiplication of the IMPACT results were reported in D7.3.
For each of the main exploitable results such as: IMPACT Theoretical Framework, IMPACT Agent Based Models, Cultural risk assessment methodology, Cultural-based emergency communication guidelines and the cultural based training package; the following information were reported:
• Type of Exploitable Foreground
• Description
• Exploitable product (market perspective) or measures, how it will be exploited (services) of the results
• Users, clients, sector(s) of application
• Timetable, commercial or any other use
• Patents or other IPR exploitation (licences).
