As a further implementation of the project we made a methodology and created a tool important for creation of the map of excellence as a part of the output Developed strategy and action plan for the enhancement of framework conditions for raising collaboration and networking in the field of robotics and sensors. We had also interviewed stakeholders that they in order to get information about ecosystem of InnovaMare. Through research and analysis of key innovation players on cross-border level and its capacities, we developed a map of excellence and used it for policy stakeholders’ dialogue as a start for building strategic capacity for enhancing framework conditions. Based on this and through two policy roundtables we created policy recommendations.

While creating the web platform, project partners, external experts, and potential stakeholders and members were involved in the Focus group testing on 21.7.2021. We got the opportunity to participate in online Design thinking workshop 26.-30.7.2021.

As a part of the WP5 and activity 2 Pilot I. – creating a prototype that is an innovative robotic solution, project partners FER and ISMAR delivered D5.2.1. Preliminary conceptual design of multi-functional robotic and sensor solutions.

In August we have created deliverable D5.1.2. Report on Training in Bari of PP on LL.

In September, the project InnovaMare consortium was given the opportunity to presentation the project at the event organized by the JS Biennale cinema of the Veneto Region in Lido (Venice). In the same month, we have organized train the trainers and business modules.
