2. Project Description (<401 words)
3. Summary of activities (< 401 words)
- Major achievements (e.g. completion of market and user requirements
survey, completion of demonstrator design or implementation, initial
reactions and feedback from users, first results).
- The annual report should also describe where the
project is "positioned" for the next year, describing which are the
activities that will be completed and the results that are expected. As
regards the final report, a description of possible
future activities that derive from the completion of the project should
be included.
3.1 <Important work areas>
- Make a short section for each substantial and
important area of work completed/started. This should be tailored to
reader needs rather than being oriented around work packages.
- As a rule of thumb, each section should be around 400
words long. However, the final
services/products, their functional description, their
validation and other related information (see below) should be given
more space and detail.
-
The sections should cover subjects such as:
- User/customer requirements and resulting product profile
(provide a summary of your research on user/customer requirements,
the user groups you address, and the resulting product
profile)
- Content/technology outlook and innovative features (provide a
summary of the main innovative features of the project that will
allow the implemented services/products to be competitive in the
market)
- Market prospects (provide a summary of your market research,
giving an overview of the market situation, future trends in your
target markets.)
- Business plan (provide a summary of your business model,
expected revenues, expected costs to maintain the service,
break-even point, etc.)
- Final services/products implemented (describe the
services/products: functionality, simplified architecture,
innovative features, limitations etc. Include appropriate details
of platform and/or third-party software integrated. A graphic
(screen capture, diagram etc.) may be a good method to illustrate
the system. Explain how the demonstrator meets user requirements.
If possible, state how interested parties can have a demonstration
or try out the system.)
- The information provided should obviously be congruent with the
current stage within the project's lifecycle. Some projects will
typically report on their services/products, others may concentrate on
market research and system specifications.
4. Dissemination and awareness (< 401 words)
Focus on project-level activities, including:
- the project user group, its membership and activities;
- other activities that have significantly raised the profile and
visibility of the project (for instance presentations at international
events, publications, press and media coverage) 5 Future
5. Future work and exploitation prospects (< 401
words)
Include a brief summary of major activities to come. This can include
developments, but other events/actions that might be of interest to the
reader are also especially relevant, for example when the
services/products are going to be available on the market, future
additional services/products, etc.
