FOT-Net Webinar: Working Group on Impact Assessment and Scaling up Activities
28 May 2013 (14:00-15:00 CET)

One of the FOT-Net activities is to further enhance and revise the FESTA methodology for FOTs. To achieve this, two years ago FOT-Net launched five Working Groups (WGs) that look into a specific set of issues in FOTs. Among them the WG on Impact Assessment and Scaling up allows stakeholders to share and discuss experiences from past and current European and national Field Operational Tests (FOTs) in order to achieve commonly agreed positions on the topics of impact assessment and scaling up.
With this webinar Eline Jonkers from TNO (leader of the WG) will give an update on the WG on Impact Assessment and Scaling up activities. The following topics will be discussed in the webinar:

• Achievements in 2011 and 2012
• Current status of the WG: intermediate report, topics discussed and best practices
• Future plans for remainder of 2013
• Questions and discussion

Special emphasis will be put on the current status of the WG activities: topics like piloting, experimental set-up, integration of results and scaling up will be presented. This will be done by use of the intermediate report released by the WG.

 

• Presentation FOT-Net webinar 28 May 2013 on Impact Assessment and Scaling up
