FAIR-EASE - D6.3 - First report on users engagement

This report presents an analysis of user engagement within FAIR-EASE. The project was designed from the outset to foster strong user engagement, for which a variety of activities have been carried out in a transversal manner, ensuring that all aspects of the project benefit from users’ input and interaction. At the mid-term stage of the project, the main focus was put towards engaging users within the consortium itself, in particular through a constant mobilisation of the scientific communities involved in FAIR-EASE use cases and pilots. In addition to this internal focus, efforts have also been made to disseminate information beyond the boundaries of the consortium. This outward-facing strategy has been successful in raising awareness of the project and its objectives among a wider audience. The success of these strategies is evident in the high levels of user engagement and the feedback received. As the project moves forward, efforts will be put into reaching outside communities based on the expected results. This will ensure that the benefits of the project are shared as widely as possible, thereby maximizing its impact.
