Deliverables

Documents, reports (2)

Technological fact sheets on CHASSY strains

NOVA will produce a technological fact sheet of the chassis yeasts developed in this project. This will be used to inform specific SMEs identified by CHASSY as potential lead users of CHASSY technology and platform strains.

Library of branded publishable information (leaflets, posters, booklets, slide-set, etc.)

The development of an effective communication infrastructure to communicate to the relevant stakeholders outside CHASSY will be led by NOVA. Publishable information material (leaflets, brochures) that will be updated as the project progresses will feature in the communication strategy.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

The CHASSY public access website up and running

NOVA is responsible for developing an effective communication infrastructure to communicate to the relevant stakeholders outside CHASSY. A website as well as an external platform for displaying information about the project objectives, activities and results to interested parties and stakeholders and the public is an activity that will feature in the communication strategy.

Other (1)

External stakeholder workshop

An external stakeholder workshop will be organised in the final year of the project
