Deliverable 8.6. Legacy exploitation plan: evaluation, control and mitigation of the enviRonmental impacts of shippinG emissions (EMERGE) project (Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874990)

Abstract

This document is deliverable “D8.6 – Legacy Exploitation Plan” of the European Union project “EMERGE: Evaluation, control and Mitigation of the EnviRonmental impacts of shippinG Emissions” (hereinafter also referred to as “EMERGE”, project reference: 874990).
The aim of this deliverable is to describe a strategy for the exploitation and further development of the results produced by the EMERGE project. It addresses potential commercialization of the project’s models and tools (such as the decision support tool) after the end of the project.

This deliverable mainly targets the consortium partners and should be read alongside “D9.1 – Project Management Plan”. It serves as a reference document for the whole EMERGE consortium including potentially any individuals joining in the project at a later stage.
Since the project has brought together a set of diverse experts from different fields and backgrounds, a core principle guiding internal processes is based on open participation and flexibility. Additional principles are transparency about the project status as well as risk prediction and mitigation.
D9.1 defines procedures of how to best communicate and structure the collaboration. It sets out that regular meetings are to be held via videoconferences as well as face-to-face. Communication has been also taking place via e-mails using the project mailing lists. The main tool for sharing and collaborating on documents is a dedicated Microsoft EMERGE Google Drive platform. D8.6 sets out how the results arising from the EMERGE project can be exploited and further developed.

In terms of ethics, the consortium follows the general rules defined by the EC and commits strongly to respect individual and ethical research conduct. The exchange of primary research data amongst partners may in some specific cases contain personal data from study participants and the participants will be made aware of this.

The EMERGE consortium uses open strategies with regards to the research outcomes. This relates to software that is published under specific open licenses, following, and where possible contributing to, open standards as well as research publications, which should be made openly accessible as far as possible.

The Legacy Exploitation Plan of the EMERGE project is understood as a living document and will be updated if the need for improvement of the internal processes arises.
