Objectives:

• Further explore and quantify the potential for SHIP promoted in FRIENDSHIP in EU industries (both sectors covered by demonstration and further sectors with suitable process temperature) in terms of environmental benefit, considering the different technologies developed in the project;
• make a market survey about FRIENDSHIP potentialities,
• prepare the business models and related suitable arrangements for the FRIENDSHIP technologies, with a special focus on ESCO models,
• perform upscale feasibility studies to demonstrate the viability of FRIENDSHIP concepts in project use cases.

Each objective above presented is the main output of a task of this WP. An E-Handbook that wraps up the outcomes of this WP promoting the replication potential and benefit of FRIENDSHIP project, also presenting integration project use cases, will be realized.

Objectives:

• increase public awareness of the potential of innovative SHIP system and its application through introduction of a dedicated project webpage, preparation of printed materials, organization of workshops, launching event and participation in the top level European conferences;
• introduce training for SHIP experts and prepare educational tutorials for students, technicians and engineers to achieve specific knowledge required in dedicated area;
• manage the collective impact of the consortium throughout the course of the project by
• evaluating the market potential and determine product opportunities in relation to customer/product requirements,
• identifying and managing individual and collective opportunities of exploitation of project results by partners (exploitation plans),
• monitoring new IPR creation inside (opportunity) and outside (threat) of the consortium
• Contribute, upon invitation by the INEA, to common information and dissemination activities to increase the visibility and synergies between H2020 supported actions

Objectives:

• coordinating the actions of participants and progress monitoring for achievements of project goals;
• financial and administrative management;
• reliable interface to the EC services.

The project will be managed according to well-defined procedures built up over many years of scientific project management. In particular, the project management activities include:

• coordination of the project WPs (through WP leaders) according to the work plan, ensuring the high quality of the project outcomes;
• efficient and high-quality communication between all the partners;
• distribution of the financial support received from the Commission to the partners;
• considering relevant gender issues;
• identification and mitigation of project risks by performing an effective risk management;
• due reporting of consortium activities and achievements.
