Purpose:

  • To create a channel for user group engagement in co-production of knowledge and to provide feedback for the following, but not limited to, the following user groups: public, policy, research, education and operational communities including industry
  • To better understand the requirements of the user groups and improve the effectiveness of communication strategies and increasing societal impact.

Approach:

  • Create a panel of end-user representatives for each societal benefit area. Panel members selected through ‘An expression of interest call’.
  • Establish terms of reference for the end-user panel that foster 2-way communication.
  • Engage with the end-panel members individually and collectively to improve understanding of requirements and seek feedback on key communication strategies to promote uptake of JERICO-NEXT products and services.
  • Based on feedback amend specifications for key communication strategies.
  • Hold annual meetings of the panel supplemented with ad-hoc communication between meetings.

Deliverables:
