WP7 - Standardization, exploitation, impact maximization

Coordinated by Raymond Sterling, R2M (ES)

The intent of WP7 is to establish and maintain an exploitation culture throughout the project and to treat IPR in a way that maximizes impact. This will be done primarily by addressing the the integration of NEXTOWER with the standardization system. Then, the conduct of exploitation activities in a structured and systematic way during the project evolution will be aimed at accelerating the post-project uptake of project results. WP7 will realize the strategic alignment of project results, exploitation, and dissemination to maximize impact for the individual partners, the collective project and the EU. WP7 will receive as input the knowledge and results generated by each of the technical and demonstration work packages (WP2-5), market analyses (WP6), and knowledge attained from the stakeholder group and outreach activities (WP8). WP7 will provide as output excellent exploitation activities in a strategic innovation context that posture the project foreground for impact and replication.
