1. Welcome and Session Overview

The speakers greet participants, explain the webinar format, and outline the purpose and structure of the info session. They also cover housekeeping details and what topics will and will not be discussed.

0:46 - 1:23
Hello, hello everyone.Thank you for joining on time and we are just waiting for a couple of more minutes just to have everyone to to connect.In the meantime, I see some of you is already typing in the chat.Please feel free to use it for introducing yourself or connecting with other attendance.This is a webinar stylemeeting, so I'm not sure that you can see the list of who else is attending, so feel free to introduce yourself in the chat.
So I see the number is growing.So welcome for to people from Vienna, Austria.Good afternoon.Hello, hello.I can see from names that we have wide participation across from many countries.Oh, hello from Turkey.
Hi Tita.We know each other already.Yes, some new names, some some pioneer partners and organization Portugal, Kazakhstan, Hungary.Welcome, welcome everyone.Maybe we can slowly start
while while yeah a few others I see are joining.So hello, hello everyone and welcome to the info session on monitoring evaluation and learning framework impact domains and actions.This is part of the call 2026 info session andand let me see does this work?Yes, I will be yes starting.As I say this is part of the info sessions organized to support you in preparing your application for the call.We are the third one opening then there will be other following and most importantly I will also point you to the last session on the third of December that will be an open question and answer.So for any unanswered question that's your opportunity to ask them as we go.So the goal of today and this particular session we wanted to share some examples for building your IVAP coming from significant change video stories and from from previous cohorts.
We would like also to trigger some question to raise internally to your consortium and to your respective institutions on the change that you want to provoke through the EAT higher education initiative project and also to also to thinkat a wider picture of the initiative and its long-term vision and goals.In this session, we will not explain the H Innovate that was already presented last Friday, so you can absolutely look at the recording that are available on the website.We will not discuss the KPIs that will instead come on the 13th of November and we will not focus on reporting forms, timelines and any other operational details on which which the details will be shared with you indue time if, as I wish you all, you will be awarded.
A bit of housekeeping.So please use the chat for introducing yourself and connecting, but if you have any question, please please use the question and answer button.If you if you don't have the question and answer, maybe it's underneath the three dots at the bottom of your Zoom.Just you can just click on that and click there and and it will open the Q&A.This is very helpful also for us because we can keep track of all the questions and be able also to reply in a cleaner, I would say, manner instead of listening to miss a question because it's in thechat.Also we will have time at the end for any further question or anything that has not been covered during the presentation.We will start with a bit of an introduction.We will just we will then move into impact domains and the Innovate dimensions.
So not the tool itself, the Innovate tool itself, but the how it speaks with the impact domains of the initiative.We will bring you to the actions and some examples, some insights into the theory of change and and the the video more significant stories and sense making as the activities.Also, we will share some additional resources that we believe can be of inspiration for building your application and then time at the end for question and answer.

2. Introducing the Team and Framework

Pamela introduces herself and the Climate KIC team, then Miljana explains the five impact domains and how they connect to the HEI Innovate self-assessment. The section clarifies how institutions should identify needs before selecting actions.

Who am I?Sorry, I started speaking without introducing myself.My name is Pamela, as we say in Italian.Pamela Ragazzi, I'm learning program orchestrator at Climate KIC in the initiative.I am also member of the evaluation committee and of the steering group.Together with me, I have my colleagues Miljana Merdovic, that is senior senior mail manager at Climate KIC and has been leading the mail activities of the initiative since the launch of the framework.And Florinda Artuso, that is our data musician, I would say, that helps us in the collection and management of data and reporting and also in building very nice dashboards that you I hope you will have the opportunity tosee.Climate KIC is one of the participating KICs together with all the other we we are involved in the initiative by bringing our specialty and our expertise.In particular, climate, as the name says, focus on accelerating the transition to zero carbon economy.
So we are very much looking on how to transform systems, cities, regions, and industries to become more sustainable and to face the the challenges given by climate change.And I think I mean we have nowadays almost daily examples of what this means in terms of people, economy, society as a whole.We in the have developed a particular also experience on the systemic approach as I mentioned and together with sense making and mail expertise that we are bringing to the initiative.
So I will move now more into the yeah domain and actions.
Yes and pass this to Miliana.
8:39 - 9:39
Yes.Thanks Pam.So good afternoon all everyone.I'm Miliana as Pam mentioned I'm leading the mail for the initiative.So let's move to the heart of this today's session basically to the domains and the action of on the initiative.And this is actually the part that in a way shapes and will shape what you will write in in your proposal.So let's start with the big picture the five areas themselves that is the each domain.So these are the five impact domains or the impact pathways that we use in the initiative.They do not change from call to call.They are the stable backbone or the base of the whole initiative monitoring framework monitoring and learning framework.The domain one as you know and as you see here is about leadership and institutional change.Domain two is about partnerships and network.Domain three is about businesses and innovation generation.
Domain four is about entrepreneurial education and domain five is about sharing knowledge and success.And if you can see as they're on the slide they're all interconnected.There is no one domain that is not connected in a way with the others.So this is these are our impact pathways or impact domains.And actually for you for this webinar main question is how many of these we do actually need to engage with in order to prepare the the proposals and which actions uh domains and action which which should select.So here on this slide uh you have the the rule.Uh it looks a bit maybe complex, but actually it's quite simple.You exactly need to select eight funded actions, one action from each of the four domain, one action from domain one, two, three, and four, uh two more actions from domain again from the domains from one to four, which
means six total, and then both actions from the domain uh five.Uh the the two actions that you can select from the domain one to four are really connected with your needs, so you are free to select any action from any domain that you prefer.However, the domain five and the actions from the domain five are mandatory for everyone.There is no exception.So eight actions in total and um it's really not a checklist just to select and and tick a box.It's about building building those or selecting them around your own institutional needs or consortium needs.Uh so this is how many we they are, how many actions and domains, but still doesn't tell you how they come and how they're actually connected with the HEI Innovate that you already had a webinar also on onthat.So before you even start to think about the domains and actions, each of your partner has had to prepare or to do the self-assessment, the HEI Innovate self-assessment, which will give you in a way since it's a self-assessment,
it's also a modest and honest picture of where you your institution or your institutions within the consortiums stands in this moment.And from there the next step this they will this will help you to identify real needs and priorities.So, it's not something to guess who needs what, but is really about identifying the needs and the priorities.And only then you can select your can come back on the previous one.You can select your own actions from the from the domains to to work on and to prepare the actual project.That is the sequence sequence that you have to follow to prepare the project.So, from the HI Innovate to to the domains and actions.And they they they innovate hey HI Innovate self-assessment speaks about institutions.The domains will help you to turn those needs and gaps into into real projects.

3. Domain One and Two Examples

The presenters map HEI Innovate dimensions to the domains and then walk through domain one and domain two in detail. They share examples of leadership, institutional change, partnerships, and ecosystem-building activities from previous projects.

So, let's see just the mapping that can be helpful for you.Once you identify through the self-assessment the needs and the gaps, you can look at the also in this table you can see that for example domain one is actually under the the the dimensions of the HI Innovate whichare the first and the second one.One is the leadership and governance and the other one is about the organizational capacity, people, resources and digital capacities.The second domain maps to entrepreneur ecosystem and networks.The third domain is about preparing and supporting entrepreneurs.The domain four that is about enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship education is about entrepreneurial teaching and learning.And the fifth domain response to the impact of the entrepreneurial HI dimension within the HI Innovate.There is one more dimension dimension the dimension seven that is about the internationalization internationalized institution that is actually cross-cutting because touches all five domains of the of the of the initiative, not just one.
So for example, if you're if your self-assessment results flagged that you're weak in the leadership engagement, that is for you a clear signal that you should look for activities and work on the domain one.If then you need a stronger partner network, this means you should work on the domain two.So basically the gaps and the needs that you identified through the self-assessment, you you identify also the domain that you want to work on.So with this in mind, having clear that how is the innovate actually connected with the with the domains, we can go and see each domain and action and get specific idea of the action.What are the possibilities and what could actually look like in reality or in practice?
15:17 - 16:08
Thank you, Miljana.So I mean, if we look at the actions, we see that in domain one, just let me also iterate how all these are connected, no?I mean, it's very unlikely that one can happen without the others and that's why we are also you are also asked to select across all the domains, no, and not just focusing on one.So domain one, fostering leadership, support and institutional change has three actions, secure and maintain institutional engagement, enhance the scale and scope of students' engagement activities and develop inter and multidisciplinary support.Can you give some example of activities that have been carried out by previous projects maybe?
16:08 - 17:28
Yes.So basically here when we speak about domain one, we are looking when we speak also about actions and activities, we are looking about to understand the change and the change that we want to see here is about institutionalculture and structure, committed leadership, organizational processes, infrastructures, but also strategies, human resources.And if we if we think about some of the experiences we had a different project that creating created steering boards of department heads and vice rectors that were involved in the directly involved in the implementation of the projectbut also in planning and developing the strategies and embedding the activities within the strategies of the universities.At the same time there were new memberships created, development of creating of board that were connected more with the ecosystem within each region.And and if we speak about student engagement for the action two there were activities for example project Oasis worked on student clubs through the different phases, different networking and mentorships, mentorship programs for the students to to share knowledge
and experience with offering those toolkits.For the develop inter and multidisciplinary support we had for example Cloud that created two innovation labs and another digital hub that was designed to to be lasting even after the project.A lot of test beds, living labs, fabrication labs and different multidisciplinary projects to to foster innovation.So basically all these activities or possible actions are somehow to put the the institution, to create stronger institution, to put the institution on the house in order and to to make the leadership more engage internally and externally andthis actually then allows or create a space to to go towards the second domain or let say to reach outward of from internal going to external which is the domain two.

4. Innovation, Education, and Skills

This chapter covers domain three and domain four, focusing on business generation, incubation, entrepreneurship education, and curriculum development. The speakers give concrete examples of how projects supported startups, teaching, internships, and skills development.

18:33 - 19:14
Yeah, exactly.The domain two that is about strengthening a partnership and networks.And in this domain we find the two actions.One is establish a new collaborations and enhance the nature, content and type of collaboration with external partners as you were just saying no it's going from the internal to the external including businesses, research organization, governmental bodies, NGOs andother societal partners.So open the institution and then build the partnering capacities among staff and facilitate networking and connections with partners.
19:15 - 20:32
Yes, so basically the change that we are looking for here is really in the innovation ecosystem and this means new actors, new networks, new collaboration or foster the existing one in creation of businesses within the case that canaddress societal challenges together with their ecosystem partners.And it's about agreements, it's about mentoring, networking, sharing practices, it's about mapping and partner matching a different kind of ideas came out from the projects.For examples, for example Oasis build a shared usable framework for partnership within the industry that was also possible then to replicate in as as an agreement that was possible to replicate in in another areas.Other projects like Barcelona Institute for Entrepreneurship created a platform for knowledge exchange, different ecosystem mapping across different projects.So a class quite a lot of partnering, creation of networks or creation of partnering capacities within the the ecosystem where the projects were implemented.
And by creating this actually bring creating stronger institution and then creating externally stronger network or ecosystem creates possibility to to to bring the business to to create business and innovation generated within the institution and that is about thethe domain three.
20:58 - 21:32
They are really all connected, uh?So, domain three is supporting innovation and business generation and here again we have two actions.One is develop and utilize structures and condition for people to create or develop their businesses and startup and to transfer technology and create structures and conditions for innovation driven research.So, here we move again a bit the the the the main focus, right, Miljana?
21:32 - 22:51
Yes, here so we are moving from internal institutional towards external then now we are coming to the change in innovation and business generation and which means change in conditions and structures including also opportunities that can empower people orstudents, young people to transform their ideas and the values that they have in the in into business ideas that can be of products and services that can be implemented.So, it's a lot about also about funding support but about incubation, acceleration, startup communities, licensing support, IPs, market assessment, business model.There are so many examples so many ideas that we seen in the last in the past years, innovation scouting, researcher business skills pairing, proof of concept funding, quite diverse.In this, I have to say that domain three is quite diverse in terms of possibilities of actions.For example, a project the name established an open incubator with pre-incubation and post-incubation, you know, change embedded innovation management task force of young researchers within their inside their own research groups.
So for any kind of potential commercial opportunities, different expert bases and expert hubs, and all these, all of that innovation and in support of the ideas actually it's still not enough.It's needed another step and and that is these are people who know how to do all this work and this comes then again bring us again to the next domain that is domain five.
23:23 - 23:24
Four.
23:24 - 23:25
Sorry, four.
23:25 - 24:01
Domain four that is very much about enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship education.So we focus even more on people, I would say, no, with actions that develop or improve the innovation and the entrepreneurial curricula, develop innovation and entrepreneurial training programs and mentoring schemes for staff and students, organize internships in business,provide upskilling opportunity to businesses, especially SMEs,assessment of teaching and learning practices.
24:03 - 25:26
Yes.As you can see, this is the the largest domain, five actions here, and the change that we are looking for is actually is a change in people's entrepreneurial culture and competencies.And this means staff, students, or academic or non-academic staff.It's about it's about challenge, sorry, change in awareness in interest and skills and attitude in practices and then finally also in mindset and this can be also only as a result of improved of new educational methods processes andtools a variety of examples here it's about of course about the curriculum development it's about entrepreneurship and IP modules change based learnings industry linked projects trainings moocs also about industry placements and internships within companies and startups different trainingstailored to the needs technology upskilling industry workshops but also about as you can see in the last section assessment of teaching and learning practices curriculum pedagogy reviews quality assurances and pilots these are all illustrative actions some of the
examples from the field that let say that last that stay longer than others is when for example in a project of you know unity or dineco they managed to embed it a full entrepreneurship curriculum directly into the standardbachelor's program so it's not anymore as an optional extra but is embedded in the institutional academic development strategy in case of disco project they built two open moocs then share them onwards as an handbook for other case toto reuse some others like ETA invited local startups to and firms to host students on work placement and to develop together curriculums smart for future organize internships in different companies to gain practical experiences and it's all about it'sabout learning but it's and developing curriculums but it's also a lot about connection with the with the industry and placement within the industry.Sorry.And of course, for the last one that I mentioned, it's about impact assessment, assessment together with ecosystem partners, quality control mechanisms, incubators, and some of them like Ilka even recognition of micro credentials at national and international level within
the consortium with integration of the into the study programs that were developed within the project.So this this is about really about building skills, but also changing concepts and not only with people, not only with students and and staff, but really indirectly also building you build the leadership and partnerships and business all togetherwhile training the people.And all these then it's not enough if we don't share that knowledge and that experience and that that is why we have the domain five.

5. Sharing Knowledge and Success Stories

The presenters explain domain five and why sharing lessons, practices, and success stories is mandatory. They give examples of repositories, platforms, and recurring storytelling formats used by past projects.

27:34 - 28:03
Exactly.The main five that is around sharing knowledge and and success and success with the two actions that are collect and share success stories and lessons with others and engage in joint activities with other EIT HEI project partners viathe EIT HEI community.Also here we have a number of examples.
28:03 - 29:29
Yes, also here.So once we strengthened the institution, we connected with the ecosystem, we supported innovation and startups and trained people.We need to share all these successes, all this knowledge and experience and evidence and and that is where domain five sits for and the best way is when the consortium identify and share good practices and where actually usealso Mel strategically to improve their own performance, but also to share and to see the change and interactions and interest and ways of working that can also help others that are in the same on the same road, let'ssay.For example, we have ABCD that built a case study repository which established basically a digital repository of case study showcasing successful startups, but not the only successful, also the challenges and that was shared also with all the ecosystem.The Interlink project established its own its own knowledge sharing platform, also spatial community platform, media hub, best practices shared across the partners and beyond different case studies that were shared or through online platforms or handbooks and some interesting
example we have from Ains project that created testimonial Tuesday that is recurring a name slot of their project website specifically for success stories and not shared occasionally.So they really had this Tuesday dedicated.So from small ideas to big ideas, but all are those that are bringing change or at least the signs of change that is that is coming in each project.So I think these are
30:00 - 30:02
you.Go on.
30:02 - 30:17
I think these are some of the examples.Of course, you have also in in your guidebook, you have a list of other illustrative examples that you can see and go through.

6. Theory of Change and Narrative Evidence

The session connects the domains to the initiative’s theory of change, showing how project activities lead to outputs, outcomes, and systemic impact. It also introduces the most significant change methodology and the importance of combining numbers with narrative learning.

But this we we just went with Pamela through the domains and the actions and and the examples, but basically I think it's also important that we understand why why this is, why we are telling you all this andhow and ask ask this bigger question, why does any of this actually leads to a real change and why you are doing all this, why we are asking you?And to understand that all these activities or actions that we are proposing here are basically part of our theory of change and all these small seeds that we call them seeds because come from each project are actually bringingus to a bigger picture and to a significance for for us, for the initiative, the community and for the society as as a whole.It's about this is the theory of change, the initiative and let's look at this diagram a bit maybe linear, a bit in in a way of design, but it's it's not linear because as I explained at the beginning,
all the domains and action is very much interconnected.So if you read it from left to right, as you can see the inputs or EIT funding, the EIT innovation ecosystem, the key expertise and coaching is all that comes into the initiative and somehow influence your projects.Then you have the five domains that we have just seen together which are connected and which produce all these outputs and that we went now through all the possible actions and activities and like institutional engagement, new partnership, curriculumand all these outputs and those these activities brings to outcomes that is the strengthened capacity for innovation and entrepreneurship within the haze and partners which will create more integrated and supportive ecosystem for the HI based innovation and entrepreneurship.And hopefully the HEI are recognized as key players in the transforming society.We did all these outcomes are bringing us to systemic impact that is that we hope by 2030 we have a more inclusive integrated haze that are bringing solutions to the market and that are contributing to a carbon neutral
digital circular and inclusive society.And below, if you see in in yellow or orange, all of this is amplified.So if we can think that above is more on a project level and what you are bringing with your ideas, solving your challenges and needs, below that is all how we do amplify all your all your efforts.And and this means that the initiative supports actively the involvement of the HI's leaders in in taking their active role in growing community, helping with the continuous communication as well, which in a way turns the individual project resultsinto systemic impact.And and positions haze as key players in transforming society.And this is, let's say, a diagram diagram.It's more about theory.And sometimes the theories are a bit abstract.So maybe we can see how this can be actually transformed in a real voice from portfolio.And once we move from that theory and often from KPI's, as we say, that also you when you will prepare your project, you will see a lot about KPI's that you have to work on.
Actually, this cannot stand alone.We speak when we speak about impact and about change.Apart the KPI's, we are really dedicated to methodology that is about narrative with numbers.We use most significant change methodology where we actually collect and analyze personal accounts of change that help us to equip the teams and the projects to capture, to recognize the change, to capture it, to analyze and to useit for narrative, for learning and for amplification.We speak about conversations.It's not about monitoring or evaluation, but it's really about learning and giving a narrative to the numbers or to the KPIs that you are collecting all the time.That's why it's important in your project preparation to think about the activities not only about expected results and how to cover all the KPIs that are in the context, but really on to think about the change, a long-term
change that you want to to see with your project.

7. Sensemaking and Learning from Stories

The speakers share an example of how projects can become long-term investments and explain how change stories are used to describe impact beyond KPIs. They then describe sensemaking as a collective reflection process for interpreting data and learning together.

And yes.
35:23 - 35:24
Also used
these initiatives not only to focus on the project, but to look, okay, how can these projects serve as an investment for something that we want to do anyways in future?So formalization of this network was really exciting for us.We created actually something that we would position as internationalization of all entrepreneurial education and activities in Europe.And this was really, really exciting and it's exciting that it still continues and goes on and even expands.
35:59 - 36:59
As you could hear in this short video from from Pavlina Vujovic, this is actually exactly the narrative that we are talking about, the change and and why it matters, what what the project brings.And this is what you can actually write in your project, describe what do you expect to see as a results, what are the signs of change, what what is the change on behavioral or rational or institutional level andwhat is the impact, not just the KPI.And this is also how then we later in the within the initiative evaluate our impact across the initiative, across all the projects.And of here we have also an optional resource that it's not an it's just an option for you that can help you to build the project, to build the your skills, but also to build your project.It's not mandatory.It's called understanding change from science to impact.
It's about how we see the change and impact within the initiative, but it's basically also how to understand the narratives with a number approach numbers approach.So it's open to everybody.
37:15 - 37:17
Also you
37:18 - 38:25
But the collecting stories that I just mentioned in the narratives would not be enough if we don't then let say it's a half half work done.Then we need to make sense of all this that we collect qualitative or quantitative data and then we sit all together not only management or coordination team of the initiative, but all the partners within the the initiative andanalyze or let's say give voice to the change that we are seeing because data alone doesn't is not equal to understanding.So we need observation observation.We need understanding.We need that moment where we can all together stop or let's say pause and reflect together and understand what is happening, why does this matter for us all and how we can move further and what should we doactually next.And these gatherings as making gatherings are basically a space that are built for that.
The team, HIT team and the projects posing together to reflect and learn and and to plan.And here we have our colleague from Smart for Future project, head of the Research Institute Algebra, Maya Berlić and a shortintro from her side.
38:46 - 38:46
team
38:46 - 39:06
of today as a meadow with a lot of flowers, a lot of bees, I see that today we cross pollinated different flowers, which means that tomorrow we will reap different seeds.
39:08 - 39:30
Sonow you have you have seen what you can propose through the domains and actions and how is this all connected with the with the narrative with numbers and our sense making approach and how we can actually all learnfrom from all these together as the change unfolds.

8. Cohort Six Activities and Resources

This section presents the planned learning and collaboration opportunities for cohort six, including workshops, trainings, community events, and in-person gatherings. It also points participants to additional resources such as video stories and sensemaking materials.

And I think the next thing that we have to cover is what are actually planned for you within the cohort six that will help you also to plan your activities.
39:41 - 41:10
Yes, exactly.Thank you very much Miljana.You really guided us through yeah this this process.Now we move to yeah what is a planned for cohort six within in terms of activities and in particular you will find this this listed also in the in the core text.There are many opportunities for learning, for meeting, for reflection.So the first is the I-Lab workshop, then we have the system innovation training that is partially online and then at the end there is also an in person gathering, diversity equity and inclusion training, co-creation workshop series, the kickdiscovery days, the preparing for investment with creative innovation, the sense making as Miljana was mentioning, the community events and the community webinars and thematic activities.Each of them has a different timeline and cadence.We there are some that are open to more consortium members while others are more limited in terms of of participation, but for instance, the System Innovation Training is open to the whole consortium for the online asynchronous and synchronous
part while for yeah reason of hosting we welcome up to two participants per project in the in-person activities.So all this has also to go into the planning and know how to make the best use of the activities that you can build and the opportunities that the initiative creates and offer for learning and connecting and reflectingtogether.
So I would say that we are almost at the end of our presentation.We have pulled together also some additional resources since the the the presentation and recording will be shared.So we have collected here and you will find all the links to all the video most significant change stories that have been conducted on a selection of projects.These are also in the project page, but we thought that would have been easier for you to just click from here.These can be inspirational as we have just shown a bit of it for an an analysis I mean just to understand what as an inspiration of what others have done or have seen evolving and these are all structuredabout the type of change that they've seen starting from the initial situation to the end of the pro I think a quite few very interesting insights that you can listen to.
And also we have put here all the links to the sense making videos again also these give some yeah insights into what the initiative is and to what the collaboration space and this reflection moment also mean and cangenerate.

9. Closing Reflections and Planning Advice

The presenters summarize the main takeaways: focus on long-term change, use the examples as inspiration rather than prescriptions, and align activities with local needs. They emphasize that the initiative should support each consortium’s own pathway beyond the project timeline.

So just I think I can just come to some closing remarks here.So with this session we wanted to translate into practical understanding the monitor evolution and learning approach beyond the initiative as a framework for planning effective social change.We spoke of the domains, we spoke of the change.You have had many times this word change because the change is really the impact that we can see it what we can generate directly what is the result of our actions and what really gives gives a view tothe future.No, if something is changing it's it will not sustain and stay beyond the project.We through this we wanted to help you to reflect on the long-term objectives that your project aims to achieve.So think when building your proposal this is also emerging from many of the interviews if you have the opportunity to listen from the videos and also what we just had it's really using and understanding how the initiative project
can support you in your long-term vision in your pathway beyond the the the initiative project timeline.We went the supported domains and actions given you giving you some examples.I really want to stress that these are just examples of what we have seen.This is not an exhaustive list at all.We really encourage you to see what works best in your local environment, places and ecosystem within your network, within your consortium, with your project partners and and the yeah and all the condition around you.It may be that something that has already been done is also is may be also working and and a good fit for your specific project, but it can also be that you need something completely different and we reallywelcome it.So please really consider these as just examples.Yeah and also we showed you some more significant stories from the ground just really again to say to invite you to listen to what they've seen and really to resonate in a way of what is the situation now?
Where do I want to go?How can the the the the H initiative project stay within?And and for that also it's a story that also your pioneer as we call them in the initiative colleagues and projects have very kindly shared with with us.Um, we may be I can check with Florinda and Emiliana if there are questions, if there is anything else to add.Maybe I'll stop sharing for a moment.
46:36 - 47:01
There are questions that we have already answered.Stays open a question about the entire consortium while you when you mentioned Pam about their activities and training that they have to attend.So the question is does this mean that within each project each partner must delegate at least one person for example on the diversity equity the training?And does this that we have to calculate in some travel expenses?
47:03 - 48:01
As some of the activities are online, so these do not need necessarily travel.These are all, I would say to consider them all as opportunities, first of all.So to and and that's also the reason why we share them ahead of time so that you can plan accordingly.And you have to see what works best with your consortium.No, I mean you may have maybe some some partners, some project partner more in charge of that.It doesn't mean that the others are not doing, but maybe that that particular partner is leading on that action or or activity and is therefore in charge of attending that particular event or or training and then to reportto the project.Or it can also be a different situation where you open it and have everyone to join because you want everyone on the same level of understanding and knowledge.
Of course, this depend on the yes, specific situation.As I say, we really offer we as a consortium of KICs really want to offer this training and opportunities for the benefit of your project.So these are really to be considered opportunities in your preparation plan according to what works best with you in terms of getting the most out of this opportunity, I would say.

10. Q&A and Final Closing Remarks

The final part addresses participant questions about training participation, travel, data collection, and consortium responsibilities. The session ends with closing guidance, contact information, and encouragement for applicants.

Is there any other than unanswered question?
I see all have been answered.
Miliana, anything else to addyou have seen emerging also from the chat?Okay.So I think we can maybe just uh move to close.Let me just wait a couple minute or two if there is any other question coming.Doesn't seem.So
Okay, there is a question again still open on if research Institute is also included in the consortium which field should we approach?Okay, the yeah, this is being answered.So I wait for that to happen.Um
Okay, so I think we can just move to the to the fulfilled domain domain.Okay.
Okay, I see this has been answered.Okay.So maybe we can just move to closing the presentation
and just have a bit more time back.I'm not sure we'll be able to find again.Is this this one?Can you see my presentation again?Can you see my screen?
50:34 - 50:47
Uh I I just saw another question from about should each partner collect mail data separately or can the coordinator collect it centrally for the whole consortium?
50:53 - 51:58
Maybe the tricky part is what what is the mail data.So if we are talking of reporting etc., I would say it's not something to that needs to be in focus now and we will go into sharing all the details for reporting in due time all the yeah allthe information and the sessions as well as info sessions again will be offered to the Sussex Rue consortium so that is something that I would move more to a second stage instead if it was something more focused onthe collection of how can I say deciding with sections and domains and maybe this is something that more stays again with the consortium and the leading organization but I'm not sure I have fully grasped the question maybe ifit can be further elaborated on Milan I don't know if you have better understanding
51:58 - 53:05
yeah I understand also that is later on when the project starts its implementation and then as you said in that case we will have a separate also a webinar and briefing on how to collect data and who isresponsible for what and which kind of reporting we need on the on initiative level let's say but basically it's it's a next step for now it's not it's not important for for the project preparation but what is importantis that you can think about mail and collection of data under the domain five that really speaks about learning and exchange and evaluation and monitoring where you could add some activities on mail and in that case I wouldsuggest that it's not centrally but it's for each institution in order to have a better cross-pollination of all the analyses assessments and learning that you have within the consortium.
53:10 - 53:24
Thank you.Thank you, Miliana.Is there any other questions?Sorry, I'm sharing the screen so I cannot see the chat properly.So I see the chat but not the Q&A.It's a bit impractical.
Okay.Um
so I think we can just move to the closing part.So as we mentioned at the beginning, we are now at yeah, closing this third info session.There will be more upcoming with a KPI expectation being the next one on the 13th of November.Application and budget planning, this also will be very important and it's also where the information on the type of event which how many people to attend etc.will also be I mean important not to consider.So if there was also question since the for instance the sense making event is in person and it's two people, two representative per project, yes please do include this in your in your budget.But also you may have other question and that's why we have a dedicated info session for it.Also there is the Kick Discovery Day for sure another opportunity for understanding better the kicks and in particular with which one which kick your projects align more.
This is also very important element for also for us from our side not to be able to support you in the best way possible with the expertise and the approaches and the methodologies of each kick participating kick.And then as let me also repeat again the open question and answer info session for any outstanding question at that point on the 3rd of December.Everything, all these registration links are available on the page and all the material recordings and and the presentation will also be available as as long as these sessions are delivered.
