WP8 – Objectives

• Disseminate the SLOPE results broadly among stakeholders of the whole production process.

• Ensure the visibility of SLOPE activities and results, and maximize its utilisation by the European forestry andagricultural industry (including machinery and software solutions).

• Ensure follow up on results by the industry to create new economic activity.

The first aim of this work package is to achieve the widest dissemination of the technical results of the project within:

• The membership of the consortium,

• The scientific community

• and, more important, within the European forestry and agricultural sector.

MAIN OBJECTIVES


WP8 – Objectives

No actual commercial exploitation and any concrete preparation thereof, as well as related activities (e.g. marketing)will be reported in this work package and under the project SLOPE in general as these activities are not eligiblefor EU funding.

A second big aim has been established in this work package:

Develop a committed exploitation plan in order to ensure a proper and fair exploitation of the project results.
