Identification and collection of SMEs’ offers and Needs
Collection of at least 80 Open Innovation opportunities (solutions and offers) in the platform to promote partnerships, open innovation, and faster uptake of research results. The activity will identify solutions and needs from SMEs and start-ups that have interest to set up collaborations at cross border level with emphasis to key sustainability areas. To achieve a balanced geographical spread, the programme will design a model that will allow to categorize different needs and solutions.
Euro-Mediterranean Open Innovation Network Handbook development
The experience and the feedback gained from these workshops will be integrated into a “EuroMED Open Innovation Network Handbook” which will be offered to policy makers, intermediaries, and agencies in EU & MPC countries. Correction measures and actions will be integrated for fine-tuning, guiding, or even shifting (if necessary) the delivery mechanism or the nature of services offered addressed. Feasibility and financial sustainability planning including roadmap for post project activities.
Roadmap for Operational uptake of EMPHASIS
A roadmap consolidating recommendations and methodologies for Open Innovation in a modular toolbox for the Euromed area. This task will support the uptake of the EMPHASIS approach, services and operational environment through a hands-on EUROMED wide Deployment plan. Based on the OI Network Handbook, the consortium will propose different business scenarios, strategic alliance building with similar and/or complementary initiatives and will deliver a set of proposals for capitalization from operators.
Roadmap for mainstreaming EMPHASIS approach/ policy adoption
Policy recommendations in a form of a roadmap will be consolidating key findings taking into consideration the EUROMED region’s Research to Innovation System and identifying commonalities and challenges among participating countries. Areas for cooperation, promotion of cross-border innovation partnerships and innovation support measures will be presented in different aspects of Innovation Policy.
EMPHASIS Open call document
Design and launch of an open call where lean templates for submitting needs and offers will be developed and integrated in the online platform. The call will set several evaluation criteria (including TRL and MRL) and will secure a transparent, open and fair procedure for all beneficiaries. Incorporation of necessary legal and GDPR policy procedures will be considered. We anticipate reaching at least 80 SMEs' offers and needs from targets interested in engaging with EMPHASIS OI Network.
Country Reports: Sustainability Challenges & Priorities
Compilation of regional and national data, reports, studies and technology foresights, so as to extract the needs, challenges, opportunities, threats & obstacles existing for SMEs innovation in the in the EUROMED region with emphasis in the sustainability field. Analysis of roles that have been or need to be played by Research & Technology Organisations (RTOs), Intermediaries, clusters, Public Sector, etc. to facilitate SMEs accessing external knowledge and uptake of research findings.
D3.1.1_Adaptation of CESBA MED
The key ending results of this deliverable are two innovative tools for evaluating the sustainability of neighbourhoods and buildings in the whole Mediterranean region, with particular attention to the needs and specificities of the South and East sides of MED.
The two innovative assessment tools mentioned before are:
- Sustainable Building Tool (SBTool)
- Sustainable Neighbourhood Tool (SNTool)
Both tools will enhance the capacity of public administration in delivering, implementing and monitoring efficient measures, plans and strategies to improve the sustainability of neighbourhoods and buildings.
SMC_D4.2.2_Co-Creation Labs
The sustainable Mediterranean cities project based on the sustainable retrofit of urban areas is a challenging task requiring careful planning and a high level of engagement between all stakeholders throughout the different phases of the process to ensure that the expected targets are met and that the project is financially, environmentally, and
socially successful.
For this, the Co-Creation Lab is important to be created in the three municipalities. A co-creation lab will be set up in each participating city to support a participatory approach to the development of urban retrofit plans.
SMC_D4.1.2_Contextualised decision-making method
This document describes the contextualised decision-making methodologies for Sousse ,Irbid , and Moukhtara municipalities as partner within the Sustainable MED Cities project.
For this, the contextualised decision-making methodologies for partner cities based on the use of the assessment tools SNTool, (urban scale) and SBTool (building scale) in order to prepare the optimal retrofitting concept for an urban area and single buildings belonging to it, will include the determination of specific caracteres for each phase process of decision-making methodologies.
SMC_D3.2.1_Assessment Tools Manager
An online tool to support cities in defining their own way towards integrated and sustainable urban development.
The Sustainable Med Cities online Platform enables you to:
develop your own sustainability assessment tool based on the transnational generic versions of SBTool, SNTool, SCTool;
carry out sustainability assessments at building, neighbourhood or city scale using your contextualised tools;
visualize the results of the sustainability assessment.
The SMC Platform is a tool to support participatory planning processes. To involve the citizens in the decision-making process through the Sustainable MED Cities participative platform: https://adhocracy.plus/sustainable_med_cities/
D2.2.2_Serious Game for enhancing cooperation
A Serious Game is a game designed to achieve a primary objective rather than just entertainment. Serious Games are tools for teaching, learning, and education. They help players learn experientially though play in order to put concepts into use. Serious games provide learners with the opportunities to transform experience into knowledge.
D2.2.1_SMC Toolkit
The Toolkit is composed by leaflets, booklets and factsheets then transformed into a graphic, user-friendly layout and translated in 3 languages to reach the widest audience. They are informal communication material, easy to
understand. They were distributed during national and international conferences and used as communication material to promote the main key outputs to the affected stakeholders.
