	Users / Beneficiaries Intern to UNITA	End-Users / Beneficiaries extern to UNITA
1) Who are the stakeholders benefiting of the task’s actions?	* Partners of UNITA * Students, researchers, technicians, teachers from UNITA partners	* To check with the T5.1 list * To be defined in interview * GEMINAE partners
2) To what extent has the local/international society changed as a result of outcomes compared to before UNITA? What are the long term results for them?	* To be defined in interview * More fruitful research projects and cooperation between partners * Shared infrastructure (internally at first) * Valorisation of the results from the ‘shared infrastructure network’	* To be defined in interview * These impact changes will be first internally but will be extended to our external partners (from GEMINAE for example) * The idea of shared infrastructures is to be shared within UNITA, the direct beneficiaries involve the UNITA members – it could be used for research or teaching purposes.
