UNITA sharing of infrastructures and Knowledge

 Notice: The following sections are missing information: Review List of Activities.

Task number	3
Name	UNITA sharing of infrastructures and Knowledge
Strategic Axes	Education and Pedagogical Innovation, Communities building, Research and Innovation
Workpackage	Knowledge-based growth in rural, mountain and cross-border territories

Objectives

• Facilitate and improve the partners’ sharing practices of the research infrastructure and related services according to identified needs (not the principle objective, see objective below)
• Offer to researchers (GEMINAE partners) a tool in order to build interesting researching projects together and build a research alliance.

	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.
