Deliverables

Notes: (1) The Work Package lead partners are indicated by the highlighted box in the matrix. (2) Much of the project Co-ordination, and of the project Reporting, has been supported by Martin O'Connor (C3ED) and other tenured researchers of university institutions, hence this does not appear in the person-months specified above.

Objectives:
The Transversal work packages ensure the effective piloting of the project, including the co-ordination of work, communication between partners, and production of project deliverables towards their final "user" destinations.

Work description:
WP1.A "Project Coordination" was the piloting of the consortium, the responsibility of Martin O'Connor (C3ED: Partner 1, ensuring that deliverables dates are met, that the partners are working together, and that reporting and other deliverables are communicated in an effective and timely way to the European Commission and other potential users. This includes scheduling of meetings and, responsibility for organisation and reporting of two major VIRTU@LIS Workshops (which may, however, be hosted by a different VIRTU@LIS partner).
WP1.B "Citizens-ICT and Environment" has produced a study based on synthesis of existing literature and partners' own experience, defining the state-of-the-art for design and exploitation of ICT in social learning contexts, applied to environmental management, sustainable development and environmental education. This WP has been led by Sandrine Simon (Open University: Partner 6) supported by Partners 1 (C3ED), 9 (UMilan) and 10 (J. McGlade at CoMPLEX). A preliminary outline has been presented to the Project Meeting in Month 2, and a full draft completed for Month 6.
WP1.C "Project Reporting" under the overall responsibility of Martin O'Connor (C3ED) has constituted the contractually defined documentation and communication of the project's progress and results to the Commission, in written, electronic and other formats. All partners have contributed.
WP1.D "Dissemination and Use Planning" under the overall responsibility of Martin O'Connor (C3ED) with inputs from several partners and with specialist support from Sub-Contractor SC1 (Futuretec, Germany), covered three related items: (1) the preparation of a Consortium Agreement (including agreements on IPRs), (2) the setting out of a preliminary Dissemination and Use Plan (due at Month 6), and, building on these preliminary perspectives and the full work of the project, (3) the production of a Technology Implementation Plan (TIP) at the end of the project. Note: the DUP and the TIP define, in operational terms, how the consortium envisages that exploitation of the concepts and prototypes it develops can respond to the needs of citizens, industry and public administration stakeholders that was outlined in more social-institutional and pedagogic terms in the study "Citizens-ICT and Environment" established under WP1.B.
WP1.E "Contributions to Science" under the overall guidance of Martin O'Connor (C3ED) constituted the work of project team members to the preparation of articles and electronic documents for presentations to scientific colloquia and for submission to scientific journals. This production constitutes the normal and necessary scientific production of all scientific staff within research institutions, but also of research and development staff within commercial enterprise. Because of the emergent nature of scientific contributions, the precise contents of this work package cannot be designated in advance However, especially for the case of young researchers working under contract, it is important to signal this dimension of their work as a component of their career profile. All partners have contributed.
